A varied assemblage of algal stromatolites was encountered in caves along the northern section of the Dead Sea Fault Escarpment. The caves are situated at the lower part of the escarpment at altitudes −310 to −188m relative to mean sea level (m.s.l.), i.e. ca 110–230m above the present Dead Sea level. The cave stromatolites are mainly composed of aragonite yielding U–Th ages of ∼75–17ka. The altitude,...
