Description:
This dataset contains measurements of individual ostracode valve analyses (IOVA), including stable oxygen (δ¹⁸O) and carbon (δ¹³C) isotopes, and length/width, and mass measurements, at 17 sites across Lake Turkana, eastern Africa. These sediments were collected using a modified Ekman dredge during May–November 1979. The stable isotopic measurements were conducted at the [Paleo² Laboratory at the University of Arizona|https://thirumalai.geo.arizona.edu/] on a Thermo Kiel IV Carbonate Device coupled to a 253 Plus IRMS; the length/width measurements were performed on a MeijiTechno HDZ7000TS Digital Zoom Microscope System, and mass of each valve was measured using a Sartorius Cubis II Ultra-Micro Balance.
