Abstract

Spelethems are good proxy to understand the environmental condition above the cave where they form. I have studied three speleothems from the Campanian region (Matese Mts, Sorrentina peninsula and Cilento area). The splethems should suggest the climatic condition some time in the past in Campanian region. I present data on the petrography, SEM, and Carbon and Oxygen isotopes. The data present a scenario sapropelic some time in the past in Campanin region.
