Description :
The AA. present ages obtained by both U-Th and C 14 dating methods and the results of analyses of the stable isotope compositions of carbon (δC 13) and oxygen (δO 18) of tufa deposits from the Krka River area. The results are compared with C 14 and U-Th ages of tufa deposits from the Plitvice Lakes area and with C 14 ages of speleothem samples collected in numerous caves in the Dinaric Karst. The systematic differences between the δO 18 values of tufa formed in the Krka River and Plitvice Lakes areas reflects the regional distribution of the oxygen composition of precipitation.
