Forest History of Ohio. I, Radiocarbon Dates and Pollen Stratigraphy of Silver Lake, Logan County, Ohio

Radiocarbon and pollen analysis of a sediment core (8.9 m) from Silver Lake in central Ohio indicates that deposition began in late Woodfordian time (11,000-14,000 radiocarbon years ago) and has been continuous to the present. The pollen sequence includes a basal spruce-fir pollen zone, changing abruptly to oak-elm immediately above a radiocarbon date of 9800 ±210 (OWU-39). A total of 19 radioc...

Radiocarbon dates on bones of extinct birds from Hawaii.

Bones from a stratified sedimentary deposit in the Puu Naio Cave site on Maui, Hawaiian Islands, reveal the late Holocene extinction of 19 species of birds. The age of the sediment and associated fauna was determined by direct radiocarbon dating (tandem particle accelerator-mass spectrometer; TAMS) of amino acids extracted from bones weighing as little as 450 mg. The 14C dates indicate that sed...
