Lamont Natural Radiocarbon Measurements V

Abstract

This article reports the radiocarbon age measurements made at the Lamont Geological Observatory between February 1957 and July 1958. For convenience the sample ages have been classified into the following categories: Table IGeologic Samples—North American glacial geologyTable IIGeologic Samples—Pluvial lake levelsTable IIIGeologic Samples-Relative sealevel changesTable IVGeologic Samples-OceanographyTable VGeologic Samples-MiscellaneousTable VIArchaeologic SamplesTable VIICheck Samples Within each table are subdivisions according to geographic origin.
