Radiocarbon Age Anomalies in Pre- and Post-Bomb Land Snails from the Coastal Mediterranean Basin
2007
Radiocarbon: An International Journal of Cosmogenic Isotope Research
Preserved Fulltext
The shell carbonate of pre- and post-bomb samples of 2 species of terrestrial gastropods (Theba pisanaandCernuella virgata) sampled along the coast of Apulia, southern Italy, were dated using accelerator mass spectrometry and carbon stable isotopes were analyzed. The analyses show, for both species, significant anomalies in the radiocarbon age due to the possible presence of a14C-depleted source of carbon in the formation of the shell aragonite. The magnitude of the age anomaly was quantified in the studied area to ∼100014C yr.
