Abstract
- In contrary to siliceous environments, there is a severe lack of cosmogenic nuclides, that can be used for in situ dating of calcareous environments. Thus, we have investigated other nuclides than 36 Cl as possible dating tools by cross-calibration. Cosmogenic 10 Be is highly contaminated with atmospheric 10 Be and cannot be removed quantitatively, even by a very sophisticated chemical cleaning procedure. Only working on clay-free calcite provides correct 10
