Depositional properties and geochemistry of Holocene perched springline tufa deposits and associated spring waters: a case study from the Denizli Province, Western Turkey - Tufas and Speleothems: Unravelling the Microbial and Physical Controls - page 256

Fig. 9. Regional setting of the G¨ ney springline tufa deposits base on the d 18 O and d 13 C stable isotope data plotted
on figure 3 of Andrews (2006). The tufa deposits in this study correspond to 'wooded mountain tufa'. See for details
Andrews (2006).

Stable isotope signatures in tufas have useful
environmental and climatic information (Andrews
et al. 1997). Based on stable isotope distribution
(Fig. 9), the G ¨ney springline tufa deposits, which

are located below 500 m in altitude, correspond to
the 'wooded mountain tufa' of Andrews (2006). In
the same time, the distribution of stable isotope data
of the tufa deposits show similarity with Dinaric

Figure 7 of Andrews (2006). The stable isotopes (d 18 O and d 13 C) plotting of the tufas show similarity with Dinaric
karst, Czech Republic and Spanish precipitates in European scale.
