Description :
Amino acid ratios of gastropods provide a useful basis for correlation and approximate dating of middle to late Quaternary fluvial deposits from the northern Española basin, New Mexico. The AA. correlate deposits using amino acid data and elevation; age estimates are derived using 14C ages, the age of Lava Creek B tephra, and minimum ages for erosion surfaces.
