Jun 2004Verification of magnetostratigraphic scales of miocene core section from Lake BaikalHoriuchi, K Gol’dberg, EL Matsuzaki, H Kobayashi, K Shibata, Y GEOLOGIYA I GEOFIZIKA 45:3 408-412 The dynamics of cosmogenic Be-10 contents in the BDP-96-1 (100 to 200 m) and BDP-98-2 (200 to 600 m) cores was used to test published magnetostratigraphic scales for the Miocene section and to time the core base. Only one of three alternative scales for the BDP-98 core tested against the Be-10 decay of T-1/2 = 1.5 myr showed a perfect consistency with the decay law. The basal age of the 600 m BDP-98 section was estimated at 8.4 myr.
