Resum

Speleothem archives spanning the glacial terminations IV and III (TIV and TIII) are particularly scarce in the western Mediterranean region. This study presents unprecedented geochemical records measured on a speleothem from Minorca Island that grew continuously through the period from Marine Isotope Stage 11 to 7. Its U/Th chronological model provides an accurate and excellent chronology for both terminations which are recognized as intervals with slow growth rates. Hence revealing the difficulty of the speleothem to grow during these periods of rapid melting, suggesting major distortions in the hydrological conditions associated to glacial terminations. The Mg/Ca and d13C records indicate that deglaciations were characterized by rapid transitions towards more humid conditions. However, the d18O results shows a deglacial freshening that led in time the hydrological signal, with a remarkably larger time-led at the TIV. These earlier depletions of the d18O are interpreted to mark the onset of the glacial melting, a freshening signal that propagated through the surface ocean and transferred from the rain source into the stalagmite. The co-existence of comparable deglacial d18O depleted episodes within the marine records, brings the possibility to review the marine chronologies, independently of the orbital tuning. An exercise that indicates a significant bias in the timing of the melting onset associated to TIV.
