Abstract

Fossil marine shells collected in southern Victoria within half a degree of latitude of 38(1/2) degrees S have been analyzed for O(18)/O(16) by mass spectroscopy, and their paleotemperatures have been determined. For the genera Chlamys, Ostrea, and Glycymeris the temperature rises from early to mid-Tertiary, then falls again to the present.

摘要

在南纬 38(1/2)度纬度范围内的维多利亚南部采集的化石海洋贝壳已通过质谱分析对 O(18)/O(16)进行了分析，并确定了它们的古温度。对于 Chlamys、Ostrea 和 Glycymeris 属，温度从早第三纪到中第三纪升高，然后再次下降到现在。
