Combined use of conventional and clumped carbonate stable isotopes to identify hydrothermal isotopic alteration in cave walls
Abstract Alteration of conventional carbonate stable isotopes (δ18O, δ13C) in cave walls has been shown to be a useful tool to identify cave formation driven by deep-seated processes, i.e., hypogene karstification. If combined with a prior information on the paleowater stable isotope composition, fu...
