Abstract
⺠40+ years of amino acid racemization (AAR) studies from U.S. coastal sites are reviewed. ⺠Examples of D/L values increasing with known relative age are seen on both coasts. ⺠For samples of equal age, D/L values increase with temperature at sites on both coasts. ⺠U-Th results for Pacific coast sites provide rigorous calibration for MIS 5 Pacific coast results. ⺠Relation between AAR and U-Th results for Atlantic coast sites are more ambiguous than for Pacific coast sites.
