- Comments
- EjPb-VP, K&T gravel pit: Burns (p.c. 1999) notes that AECV-654C should have given an older age than AECV-632C, but the former date is slightly younger. Furthermore the exact origin of the carbonaceous material sampled from the shear planes is not known. The two dates from this site are "in the right ball park but should be considered very cautiously."
