    Description: Most clay minerals in sedimentary environments have traditionally been considered to be of detrital origin, but under certain conditions, authigenic clay minerals can form at low temperature through the transformation of precursor clays or as direct precipitates from lake-water. Such clay minerals can hold important information about the prevailing climatic conditions during the time of deposition. We present the first quantitative reconstruction of salinity in paleolake Olduvai based on the oxygen-isotope composition of authigenic clay minerals. We provide a framework illustrating that the isotopic signature of authigenic lacustrine clay minerals is related to the isotopic composition of paleo-waters, and hence to paleosalinity. This new paleosalinity proxy shows that the early Pleistocene East African monsoon was driven by combinations of precession and obliquity forcing, and subsequent changes in tropical SSTs. Such quantitative lacustrine paleosalinity estimates provides a new direction of research for modeling ecosystem change based on an ecologically relevant parameter.

    Description: Data from Enhanced late Miocene chemical weathering and altered precipitation patterns in the watersheds of the Bay of Bengal recorded by detrital clay radiogenic isotopes in Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology. Marine sediment samples from the late Miocene (approximately 9 to 5 million years ago) were taken from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1443 located on the top of the Ninety East ridge in the southern Bay of Bengal. Samples were taken along the composite sediment section or splice and the age model based on shipboard calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy was refined using the stable carbon isotopes of benthic foraminifera. The detrital silicates of the clay size fraction were isolated and measured for their radiogenic Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope composition by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) to investigate the provenance of clays produced by weathering in the surrounding watersheds.
