ESR DATING OF CARBONATE DEPOSITES
Lu Jingfen, Cai Tongmao, He Rungen, Zhang Zhonglun, Chen Yijian
Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1987, 4(3): 211-219.
Ages of some carbonate deposites sampled in South China were determined by ESR dating.The results show a good consistence with the Carbon-14 method. Some of the factors are discussed in detail to improve the accuracy of ESR dating,suvch as sample treatment, ESR measurement, determination of the annual dose and total dose, and data proccess.

ESR PRELIMINARY RESEARCH ON AGE OF GEOLOGICAL SAMPLES
Liang Renyou, Huang Peihua, Jin Slzhao, Peng Zicheng
Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1987, 4(3): 265-273.
The development,the recent situation and the principles of ESR dating are introduced in this paper. The total doses of the natural radiation (i.e.the Archaeological Dose-AD) in the samples, such as the spring travertine from an active fault zone at the Xianchui River, the stalagmite from the fouth place cave of Choukoutien, the Lamprotula fossils from Nihewan, were determined by ESR method. The ESR age of the stalagmite is 6×104 years.Finally, ESR dating with relation to the other factors is also discussed.
