Abstract
Stable oxygen and carbon isotope ratios in the shells of the freshwater gastropod, Melanoides
tuberculata, collected at five early Holocene sites in the Chalbi Basin of north-central Kenya,
have been measured. These ratios indicate that at 10,000–11,000 yr.ago, paleo Lake Chalbi was a
freshwater lake of considerable stability, despite its large extent and shallow depth.
