Experimental developments and application of carbon-14 and in situ cosmogenic nuclide dating techniques

Gastropod shells are commonly preserved in the geologic record, but are often avoided for radiocarbon dating because some taxa incorporate ¹⁴C-deficient carbon during shell formation. To determine the potential of minute (3-10 mm in length) gastropods for ¹⁴C dating, we collected specimens en vivo...
