Carbonate clumped isotope data for Holocene tufas of Bed E2c of the Las Vegas Formation, Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, USA

This dataset contains clumped isotope compositions for subsamples of modern and early Holocene-age spring discharge tufas of the Las Vegas Formation, Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, USA. These samples were collected to establish a modern analog for the seasonal formation temperature of tufa and then constrain paleo-spring discharge temperatures for springs that occurred during wetter paleoclimate conditions of the early Holocene in the Mojave Desert Region. The results of these data are detailed and interpreted in a manuscript published in Geology by Springer et al. (2025).

本数据集包含美国内华达州拉斯维加斯谷拉斯维加斯组中现代及早全新世时期泉华（spring discharge tufas）子样本的团簇同位素（clumped isotope）组成数据。采集这些样本旨在建立泉华形成季节温度的现代类比基准，进而限定莫哈韦沙漠地区早全新世气候湿润期内古泉排放的温度范围。这些数据的结果在Springer等人（2025）发表于《地质学》（Geology）期刊的论文中得到了详细阐述与解读。
