Abstract:

We present AMS 14C ages from the upper ca. 3.0 m of marine sediment core KL42 from the southern Red Sea. The core was recovered at 15°54.9' N and 41°34.7' E from a water depth of 958 m during RV Sonne cruise SO121 in 1997. We used the foraminifera species G. ruber, G. sacculifer, G. conglobatus, G. siphonifera, O. universa for dating.
