High resolution Ordovician carbon isotope chemostratigraphy in South China and its significance for global correlation
Based on the Shidi-1 drill core, this paper presents new and highly time resolved carbon isotope data (δ13Ccarb) for the Early Ordovician through Early Silurian of the Yangtze Platform, South China. Five carbon isotopic shifts (C1-C5) through the late Tremadocian to the Katian have been recognized in the Shidi-1 drill core recordings. Together with previously published isotope data, a composite ca
