ESR AND TL DATING OF QUATERNARY SEDIMENTS IN THE LUTZOW-HOLM BAY REGION, EAST ANTARCTICA
Fossil shells and marine sediments in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region, East Antarctica, were dated by electron spin resonance (ESR) and thermoluminescence (TL), respectively. The ESR and TL dates obtained in this study could be correlated with the postglacial ^<14>C age group around Lutzow-Holm Bay...

Summary: | Fossil shells and marine sediments in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region, East Antarctica, were dated by electron spin resonance (ESR) and thermoluminescence (TL), respectively. The ESR and TL dates obtained in this study could be correlated with the postglacial ^<14>C age group around Lutzow-Holm Bay. The sample of shells was taken from the emerged marine sediments in Langhovde which also contain another sample of quartz, and there is a small discrepancy between the two dates. Probably it is due to uncertainties in the estimates of the internal dose for the fossil shells and of the paleodose for the quartz sample. |
