This data set includes integrated peak areas for all measured GDGTs in two cores from Mfabeni, such as tetra-, penta-, and hexamethylated 5-methyl branched GDGTs as well as isoprenoid GDGTs. The data were used to calculate mean annual air temperature (MAATpeat) during the late Quaternary in southeast Africa, and the lowess smoothed composite MAATpeat is included in this data set.

This dataset has been carefully reviewed and curated in accordance with PANGAEA's exceptionally high quality standards. However, due to discontinued communication from the authors' side, it did not receive the usual formal approval by the authors and therefore lacks final scientific validation.
