Several arcuate structures surround the Imbrium basin (Hartmann and Kuiper, 1962). The most prominent of these forms the northwest...

Map showing locations of samples dated by radiocarbon methods in the San Francisco Bay region Map showing locations of samples dated by radiocarbon methods in the San Francisco Bay region

Radiocarbon dating is an important interdisciplinary tool for studies involving events and processes during the last 40,000 years of earth history, including studies involving marine transgressions and regressions, land subsidence, climatic changes, sedimentation rates and patterns, fault movements, and archaeology, among others. The potential value of a radiocarbon date is diminished...
