Jensen <br />Mayo s Associates <br />710 East 100 North <br />Lindon, Utah 84042 <br />Sample Name: Mountain Coal: Edwards Portal Spring 5 MAY 98 <br />AGE = 22,170 +2,140/-1,690 C-14 years BP (C-13 corrected). <br />(6.33 +/- 1.48)8 of the modern (1950) C-14 activity. <br />Description: Sample of groundwater precipitate. <br />Pretreatment: The barium salt precipitate was rapidly vacuum filtered <br />and immediately hydrolyzed, under vacuum to recover <br />carbon dioxide from the barium carbonates for the <br />analysis. C-13 analysis was made on a small portion <br />of the same evolved gas. <br />Comment: Small sample yielding only 0.4 grams carbon. <br />b,aCaoe = -13.3 ~ <br />Notes: This date Is based upon the Libby half life (5570 years) for "C. The error stated is t1a as judged <br />by 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 />
