Petersen <br /> Mayo & Associates <br /> 710 East 100 North <br /> Lindon, Utah 84042 <br />Sample Name: West Elk Mine: C•76 <br />GE = Greater than 31,780 14C years BP (13C corrected). <br />~ Less than 1.59% of the modern (1950) 14C activity. <br />Description: Sample of groundwater precipitate. <br />Pretreatment: The barium salt precipitate was rapidly vacuum filtered and immediately hydrolyzed, <br />under vacuum, to recover carbon dioxide from the barium carbonates for the analysis. <br />13C analysis was made on a small portion of the same evolved gas. <br />Comments: <br />S13Cppg = +15.5 %. <br />Notes: This date is based upon the Libby half life (5570 years) for 14C. The error stated is ± 1a as judged by <br />the analytical data alone. Our modern standard is 95% of the activity of N.B.S. Oxalic Acid. <br />The age is referenced to the year A.D. 1950. <br /> <br />SPECIALISTS IN GEOCHRONOLOGY 8 ISOTOPE GEOLOGY <br />
