tivity on the carmel faul

Table 7: Comparison between the ages obtained by different dating techniques for
Denya Cave seismite samples (represented in ka). The samples are sorted by age.
Samples marked in light blue are samples that had no detrital material yet had a low
230 Th/ 232 Th ac<strong>tivity</strong> ratio. DN-2 samples 3 and 4 come from very close laminae in the
sample and show that the detrital content does in fact affect the age when a sample
contains detritus, even though they both have a low 230 Th/ 232 Th ac<strong>tivity</strong> ratio.
