The oxygen fractionation between these modern straw stalactites and the average drip water corresponds to the equilibrium fractionation calculated from the O?Neil et al. (1969) calcite?water calibration at cave temperatures of 16i¿½C (Peqiin) and 18i¿½C (Soreq).

Replication of analyses on four stalagmites from the same cave

The association of minimum d18O values in speleothems with high cave water stands indicative of increased rainfall on land, and the coincidence of the corresponding low d18O G. ruber values with sapropel events indicative of enhanced rainfall above the Mediterranean Sea, demonstrate that both land and sea systems simultaneously experienced enhanced rainfall during these events

The modern analog supporting the association of enhanced rainfall with minimum speleothem I´18O values is the present-day relationship between decreasing rainfall I´18O and increasing annual rainfall amount (Fig. 4).
