الوصف: | Abstract It is debated whether there was strong climate seasonality during the Eocene, which provides a close geological analogy for near‐future scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions. Lithological data suggest the existence of a broad arid zone centered around 30°N paleo‐latitude, while a humid climate was supported by palaeobotanic assemblages in East Asia. Here, we report the occurrence of massive primary lacustrine dolomite and magnesite in the central East Asia during the middle Eocene. We provide a novel perspective from magnesium isotopes to link the formation of Mg‐carbonates to seasonal dry‐wet cycles. Rapid magnesium input during the rainy season and intense evaporation in the dry season likely caused the formation of magnesium carbonates in an enclosed lake. These findings provide insights into hydroclimatic seasonality during the Eocene, contributing to our understanding of the hydrological cycle response to a greenhouse climate. |
