Paleomagnetic techniques can date speleothems with high concentrations of detrital material
Abstract The U-series dating of young and ‘dirty’ speleothems is challenging due to difficulties in assessing the isotopic composition of detrital contaminants and the low-abundance of 230Th generated in situ. Here we propose a new dating approach based on the comparison of a speleothem’s paleomagne...
