Microinclusions of organic matter were dated using acceleration mass spectrometry in seven samples from the upper part of the thick Pleistocene syngenetic ice wedge exposed in the outcrop of the Batagay yedoma located in northern Yakutia along the upper Yana River (67.58° N, 134.77° E). The dated fr...
