| Abstract | The Silurian Salina Group of the Michigan Basin consists of halite, carbonates, and shales. The halite was probably deposited when seawater became restricted over what is now southern Michigan. The halite consists of: (1) beds containing only chevrons, and (2) beds composed of chevron and cumulate crystals. This indicates shallow depositional waters. The primary fluid inclusions along growth bands in these crystals are well preserved and unaltered. These cubic, all-liquid inclusions, ranging in size from >1 to 150 μm, represent Silurian surface waters.These all-liquid inclusions were cooled in order to nucleate a vapor bubble. After cooling, inclusions were warmed slowly and the homogenization of the vapor bubbles to liquid was observed. The homogenization temperatures ranged from 19.8°C to 59.0°C, with the majority of the measurements falling below 40.0°C. Validity of this temperature data is strongly suggested by: (1) reproducibility of homogenization temperatures within 1°C; and (2) similar homogenization temperatures within individual growth bands ranging between 4–10°C. Therefore, these homogenization temperatures represent Silurian shallow water temperatures.In modern shallow evaporative settings, the water temperatures and the air temperatures are very similar. Since petrography of the halite beds indicates shallow water deposition, these homogenization temperatures may be good proxies for Silurian air temperatures.This may be among the first quantitative Silurian climate data. Paleoclimate data such as these may give new insights into modern climate and future climate trends. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
