Radiocarbon and Uranium-Series Dating of the Plitvice Lakes Travertines

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Radiocarbon and uranium-series ages of the calcareous deposits of the Plitvice Lakes show that travertines were deposited during three warm, humid, interglacial oxygen isotope stages. According to our measurements, only calcite crystals or crystal aggregates represent reliable material for both 230Th/234U and 234U/'8U dating. Compact old travertine in the form of sandstone is less reliable; it can be dated by both methods provided that its detrital contamination is not significant, demonstrated by ve… Show more

“…The number of dates per sites is highly variable. The tufas from Plitvice and Krka (Croatia) are exceptionally well dated, which reflects the extensive work of the Zagreb dating researcher group and its collaborators over decades (Horvatin ci c et al, 2000;Roglic, 1977;Srdo c et al, 1980Srdo c et al, , 1985Srdo c et al, , 1994. These two Croatian locations provide almost as many dates (212; Figs.…”

“…(2003) reported δ 13 C and δ 18 O time‐series records for Holocene speleothems and tufas from Croatia (Plitvice Lakes, Zrmanja, Krupa and Krka Rivers) and Slovenia (Postojna Cave, and Podstenjšek Creek). Most samples were dated using the 14 C method, but a few from the Krka and Plitvice areas were dated by U‐series (Srdoč et al ., 1994; Horvatiničić et al ., 2000). Most of the speleothems and all of the tufas indicate late Holocene deposition, although some stalagmites commenced growing during the Late Glacial (ca.…”
