INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIALive Science reports that a team of researchers led by geologist Michael Meyer of the University of Innsbruck obtained new dates for hand and footprints left in the mud of a hot spring at the high-altitude Chusang site in Tibet. The 19 prints were discovered in 1998, and initial studies suggested they were left some 20,000 years ago. Meyer and his colleagues used uranium-thorium dating to date the sediments, optically stimulated luminescence to date quartz crystals in the layer containing the prints, and radiocarbon dating of microscopic plant remains. The new tests suggest that the prints were made between 7,400 and 12,600 years ago...
Thanks again! The link I used here came out of a topic I’d been perusing pursuant to finding topics related to the Greenland topic earlier this week. Probably at least a few years old, and not unlikely to have been from a second or third “page” (20 posts per page) and thus often gets missed by Google.
