Grey microstructure of microbanding in thin sections of stalagmite T95
01 from Shihua Cave, Beijing was studied. The types of grey and the mo
rphologic features of organic material were classified. The significat
ion of microbanding and annual layer was discussed. The standard disti
nguishing the false annual layer and the multi-year layer is set up, w
hich provides the theoretic fundaments for paleoclimatic study.
