Composition and sources of lipid compounds in speleothem calcite from southwestern Oregon and their paleoenvironmental implications

We analyzed speleothem calcite from the Oregon Caves National Monument, southwestern Oregon, to determine the preservation, distribution, concentrations and sources of aliphatic lipid compounds preserved in the calcite. Maximum speleothem growth rate occurs during interglaciations and minimum during...
