This paper presents some achievements in U\|series dating of marine corals by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and its application to the study of paleo\|environments. Recently, coral samples were determined for their ages on a MAT\|262 mass spectrometer and satisfactory results have been obtained.展开更多

The values of （ 234 U/ 238 U） act , （ 230 Th/ 234 U） act and age are all consistent in error range with the standard values obtained by using α spectrometry.展开更多

The ages of the gypsum samples in a CK core from Luobubo lacustrine sediments are in the range of (12.85±0.21) kaBP (4 m distance from the top core) to (153.2 ± 7.2) kaBP (49 m distance from the top core) with the relative errors of ( 1.6%-±4.7%. It indicates that the sedimental environment of the CK core was situated in the middle-late Pleistocene and Holocene periods, corresponding to 1-6 stages of oxygen isotopes in the abyssal sediments and included much information from last inter-glacial to Holocene warm periods.展开更多

This paper reviews the progress made in chronology and paleo\|environment of stalagmites from karst caves in China and presents some of the results of TIMS\|U\|series dating of stalagmites composed of secondary carbonates, taken from the Dongge, Longquan and Yamen karst caves in Libo County and the Qixing karst cave in Duyun, Guizhou Province, on a MAT\|262 mass spectrometer.展开更多
