From these profiles three distinctively different stages in the basin evolution were apparent, which could have been result from the response to changes in the climatic conditions. Similar changes has been observed in other works about climate evolution in Madagascar and the African Tropics during the Late Quaternary.engMadagascarAndringitra MassifStable isotopesδ13Cδ15NLate QuaternaryPaleoenvironmentalReconstructionjournal articleopen access
