                         as observed with satellite imagery. This dust is thought to carry 
                         micronutrients that could help fertilize the rainforest. However, 
                         considering different atmospheric transport conditions, different 
                         aridity levels in South America and Africa and active volcanism, 
                         it is not clear if the same pathways for dust have occurred 
                         throughout the Holocene. Here we present analyses of Sr-Nd 
                         isotopic ratios of a lacustrine sediment core from remote Lake 
                         Pata in the Amazon region that encompasses the past 7,500 years 
                         before present, and compare these ratios to dust signatures from a 
                         variety of sources. We find that dust reaching the western Amazon 
                         region during the study period had diverse origins, including the 
                         Andean region and northern and southern Africa. We suggest that 
                         the Sahara Desert was not the dominant source of dust throughout 
                         the vast Amazon basin over the past 7,500 years.",
