Cyclostratigraphic and δ13C record of the Lower Cretaceous Adriatic Platform, Croatia: Assessment of Milankovitch-forcing

Time series constructed from δ13C values (unsmoothed data) vs. stratigraphic position show peaks in the Milankovitch band, especially short-term eccentricity. Most positive peaks are near parasequence set boundaries (50 to 60%) and regressive parts of parasequences (20%). Although diagenetically shifted, the δ13C record retains a highly clipped memory of astronomically-driven global δ13C fluctuations albeit modified by platform water restriction during cyclic deposition.
