Abstract:
The data set contains plant wax biomarker and CaCO3 concentration data from the Darai Kalon loess section in Southern Tajikistan over the time-period of the last 250 thousand years. It includes long-chain n-alkane ACL data, long-chain n-carboxylic acid Index-C data as well as CPI and compound-specific δD data for both long-chain n-alkanes and long-chain n-carboxylic acids.
