Abstract: Abstract The thick alluvial conglomerate sequences around the Tibetan Plateau have been notoriously difficult to date. Here we use the cosmogenic nuclide burial dating method to date the Yumen and Jiuquan formations, a ∼900 m thick… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Cosmogenic nuclide concentrations in rocks and sediments are widely used to study the evolution of landscapes that have experienced complex exposure/burial and erosion histories. Measured nuclide concentrations are typically compared with those obtained by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2123516119
Abstract: Significance Australopithecus fossils from the richest hominin-bearing deposit (Member 4) at Sterkfontein in South Africa are considerably older than previously argued by some and are contemporary with Australopithecus afarensis in East Africa. Our dates demonstrate… read more here.
