Dissolved Organic and Inorganic 14 C Concentrations and Ages for Coastal Plain Aquifers in Southern Maryland
The Aquia (Paleocene) and Magothy (Late Cretaceous) Formations of the Atlantic Coastal Plain represent two well-characterized (hydrodynamically and geochemically) aquifers in southern Maryland. 14 C measurements of the dissolved organic (DOC) and inorganic carbon (DIC) of Aquia and Magothy groundwaters have been made using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Both DI 14 C and DO 14 C concentrations in the initial flow path are unexpectedly low. A…
Radiocarbon Dates for Lava Flows and Pyroclastic Deposits on São Miguel, Azores
We report 63 new radiocarbon analyses of samples from São Miguel, the largest (ca 62 × 13km) and most populous (ca 150,000 inhabitants) island in the Azores archipelago (Fig 1). The samples are mainly carbonized tree roots and other plant material collected from beneath 20 mafic lava flows and spatter deposits and from within and beneath 42 trachytic pyroclastic flow, pyroclastic surge, mudflow, pumice-fall, and lacustrine deposits and lava flows…
Radiocarbon Dates for Lava Flows from Northeast Rift Zone of Mauna Loa Volcano, Hilo 7 1/2’ Quadrangle, Island of Hawaii
Twenty-eight 14 C analyses are reported for carbonized roots and other plant material collected from beneath 15 prehistoric lava flows erupted from the northeast rift zone (NERZ) of Mauna Loa Volcano (ML) utilizing the recovery techniques of Lockwood and Lipman (1980). Most samples were collected from the Hilo 7 1/2’ quadrangle during field work for a geologic map of that quadrangle (Buchanan-Banks, unpub data); a few sample sites are located in …
A Reevaluation of the Marmes Rockshelter Radiocarbon Chronology
Twenty years ago excavation began on Marmes Rockshelter at the mouth of the Palouse River in southeastern Washington. Radiocarbon determinations from cave and adjacent floodplain sediments indicated an established pattern of human use by 10,800 B.P. However, a scarcity of dates between 6000 and 1300 B.P. suggested that either these strata were undated or the cave was unused. Examination of all Marmes radiocarbon ages showed agreement between shel…
Radiocarbon Studies of Latest Pleistocene and Holocene Lava Flows of the Snake River Plain, Idaho
Latest Pleistocene-Holocene basaltic lava fields of the Snake River Plain, Idaho, have been dated by the radiocarbon method. Backhoe excavations beneath lava flows typically yielded carbon-bearing, charred eolian sediment. This material provided most of the samples for this study; the sediment typically contains less than 0.2% carbon. Charcoal fragments were obtained from tree molds but only from a few backhoe excavations. Contamination of the ch…
Deglaciation and Postglacial Timberline in the San Juan Mountains, Colorado
Lake Emma, which no longer exists because of a mining accident, was a tarn in a south-facing cirque near the headwaters of the Animas River in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. During the Pinedale glaciation, this area was covered by a large transection glacier centered over the Lake Emma region. Three radiocarbon dates on basal organic sediment from Lake Emma indicate that by ca. 15,000 yr B.P. this glacier, one of the largest in …
Reinterpretation of the Exposed Record of the Last two Cycles of Lake Bonneville, Western United States
A substantially modified history of the last two cycles of Lake Bonneville is proposed. The Bonneville lake cycle began prior to 26,000 yr B.P.; the lake reached the Bonneville shoreline about 16,000 yr B.P. Poor dating control limits our knowledge of the timing of subsequent events. Lake level was maintained at the Bonneville shoreline until about 15,000 yr B.P., or somewhat later, when catastrophic downcutting of the outlet caused a rapid drop …
Radiocarbon Dating with Tandem Electrostatic Accelerators
An MP tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at the University of Rochester has been employed since May 1977 to detect 14 C in various terrestrial samples. The carbon sample sizes required are 1mg or less. Dating accuracies based on reproducibility now approach (± 80 years). Measurements have been made on 1850 wood, Australian sucrose, a carbon sample from Mt Shasta, a baby woolly mammoth, and an Egyptian bull mummy wrapping
Age of the Last Major Scabland Flood of the Columbia Plateau in Eastern Washington
Pumice layers of set S from Mount St. Helens can be correlated with certain ash beds associated with young flood deposits of the channeled scabland. The correlation points to an age of about 13,000 14 C yr B.P. for the last major flood to have crossed the scabland. Until recently, the last major episode of flooding was thought to be closer to 20,000 yr B.P., an age inferred chiefly from the relation of the flood to glacial events of the northern …
US Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia, Radiocarbon Dates XIV
This list contains the results of some measurements made between 1966 and 1975, and includes some earlier unpublished dates. Samples are counted in the form of acetylene gas, as previously, and ages computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5568 ± 30 years. The dates have not been corrected for fractionation by making a 13 C measurement. The error listed, always larger than the one-sigma statistical counting error commonly used, takes into ac…
