In the event of a decline in sea level, the supratidal zone will move seaward, causing evaporites to deposit on top of old lagoonal sediments. When sea level rises back, it drowns these evaporites. These low-amplitude fluctuations in sea level build up laminated sediments in which layers of biogenic oozes and organic-rich muds alternate with evaporites. 

Varve or rhythmites chronology is another approach based on the examination of geological materials. In this model, the distribution of the laminated sediments formed in the bottom of the beds of dried-out lakes (as a consequence of the seasonal melting of glaciers and the subsequent deposition of coarse particles supplied by streams, followed by finer materials such as sand, silt, and clay) is analyzed and correlated with climate changes [64],...
