摘要
The experimental determination of the formation age of a travertine collected from Denizli region in the southwestern part of Turkey was investigated using the thermoluminescence(TL) method. The first glow peak of calcite crystals of travertine limestone observed at 280 degrees C was closely fitted with second-order kinetics and used for the evaluation of the accumulated dose. From the derived values of the trapping parameters for this glow peak, a mean lifetime can be predicted for ambient temperature, and hence the low peak should be stable enough to be used for dating this travertine. The thermoluminescence dating result is 828 +/- 93 ka. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
