ESR dating of spring deposited travertines
Abstract
ESR dating of spring deposited travertines is complicated by the presence of acid insoluble minerals, which contain concentrations of radioactive elements that differ from those of the secondary calcite which is to be dated, and the fact that most samples do not display ESR signals which are suitable for dating. However, sampling of synsedimentarily formed crusts significantly increases the probability that the ESR spectrum of the samples …
