Middle Holocene daily light cycle reconstructed from the strontium/calcium ratios of a fossil giant clam shell

Insolation is an important component of meteorological data because solar energy is the primary and direct driver of weather and climate. Previous analyses of cultivated giant clam shells revealed diurnal variation in the Sr/Ca ratio, which might reflect the influence of the daily light cycle. We ap...
