Exploring the dating of “dirty” speleothems and cave sinters using radiocarbon dating of preserved organic matter
Speleothems and other carbonate deposits such as tufa containing high proportions of detrital material can be difficult to chemically date due to detrital thorium levels causing a high level of error in conventional U-Th disequilibrium dating. Here we investigate the use of an alternative technique...
