Description :
Marine molluscan shells from para-type and other localities of the Holsteinian interglaciation were dated by Th/U and the election spin resonance method to more than 350,000 and 370,000 yr B.P., beyond the limit of Th/U dating. The high age estimate is corroborated by a k/Ar age of 420,000 yr B.P. determined from volcanic ash.
