Zhong, H., Ma, Y., Huo, W. and Yao, Y. (1994). Carbon isotope evolution of early Proterozoic dolomites of Wutai Mountain area, North China. Science in China 37(12): 1,525-1,528.

Carbon isotope of the early Proterozoic carbonates from the Hutuo Group of the type section in Wutai Mountain area, Shanxi Province, North China, is reported. Isotopic analyses have been made for 484 samples of dolomites. The carbon isotope results show: (i) delta (super 13) C values distinctly change with the geological time, but are relatively stable in certain horizon; (ii) like that at the Cretaceous/Tertiary and Permian/Triassic boundaries, delta (super 13) C values also show abrupt variation across the boundaries between the Jianancun Formation and the Daguandong Formation and between the Daguandong Formation and the Huaiyincun Formation.
