Abstract
⺠Facies and geochemistry are detailed for multiple Olorgesailie tufas. ⺠Rare earth elements indicate variable groundwater sources. ⺠Diatoms indicate ambient to warm waters in fluvial, swamp and pond settings. ⺠Oxygen isotopes suggest variable evaporation and possibly rainfall. ⺠Carbon isotopes suggest similar soils and vegetation during deposition of each tufa.
