DESCRIPTION: The main objectives of the proposal are to date the late Pleistocene Lisan Formation primary carbonates using 231Pa/235U dating and determine if results are concordant with 230Th/235U. Then the project will identify deviations from the assumption of initial 231Pa/235U=0 and develop correction procedures.
