ABSTRACT Replying to: H. Zhou _et al._ _Nature_ 450, doi: 10.1038/nature06408 (2007). Zhou _et al._1 raise the possibility that the titanium (Ti) record at Lake Huguang Maar is controlled by

local erosion and runoff to the lake, or through hydrological changes in the lake such as level fluctuations, rather than by changes in the inputs of airborne material2. The authors come to

this conclusion by considering the Ti record in isolation. They ignore the redox-sensitive parameters of the S-ratio, total organic-matter content, the Mn/Fe ratio, and magnetic

susceptibility records. We believe that their case against our interpretation of the Ti record is weak, and that their interpretation can be ruled out if the other measurements are taken

into account2. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
