Late Quaternary East Antarctic melting event in the Soya Coast region based on stratigraphy and oxygen isotopic ratio of fossil molluscs
TAMS ^<14>C ages of in situ fossil molluscs (Laternula elliptica) from marine beds of raised beaches in the Soya Coast region, East Antarctica, are divided into two groups late Pleistocene (30-46 ka) in older marine beds and Holocene (3-7 ka) in younger beds The δ^<18>O (PDB) values of 2...
