Description

Carbonate cementations of an arid-region fanglomerate deposit near Isfahan in Iran have been dated by measurement of 230Th/234U activit.v ratio. Analytical procedure is described and the method of age calculation and corrections for detrital contamination in age calculation are explained. The results of dating by this method agree well with those arrived on the basis of geomorphic considerations. (M.G.B.)
