The hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of hydroxyl in clay mineral from a weathering profile:new proxies for paleo-climate change?
Recent studies suggest that the hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of clay minerals can indicate paleoclimate.Here,we report mineralogy and stable isotopic records(δD and δ18OOH)of a weathering profile located in Fujian Province,aiming to validate whether the hydroxyl stable isotopes can indicate paleo-precipitation and paleo-temperature.Our results indicate that the δD and δ18OOH changes in kaolinite hydroxyl of the weathering profile are basically determined by the isotopic composition of paleo-meteoric water and paleo-temperature respectively.Nevertheless,whether δD and δ18OOH of kaolinite can quantitatively indicate paleo-precipitation and paleo-temperature needs to be verified further,and especially the structural oxygen isotopic composition that is the essential element for kaolinite formation temperature calculation has to be constrained in future work.
