Description:
The radiocarbon laboratory in the Oceanography Department at Texas A&M University was established primarily for the examination of seawater samples, although other types of samples have been run. Emphasis has been placed on seawater samples of the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent areas. Most of the samples examined have been inorganic carbon, but some organic-carbon samples are being run, mainly wood and charcoal whose ages have been determined previously. More samples of known age will be run as a further check on the reliability of experimental methods and procedures.
