The 230Th dating (238U–234U–230Th dating method) has become one of the most important dating methods for Quaternary research. However, the 230Th/232Th ratio of 4.4 ± 2.2ⅹ10−6 is widely used for age correction in 230Th dating method. Here, we collected active speleothems with exactly known age and zero-year-old calcium carbonate from caves and dated them by 230Th dating. Our data indicated that the initial 230Th/232Th ratio can be one order of magnitude higher than the ratio of 4.4 ± 2.2 × 10−6. High initial 230Th/232Th ratio may result in false and comparatively old calculated age than the real age of young samples with low 238U concentration. So, the accurate initial 230Th/232Th ratio of active speleothem deposited in the same cave, instead of the general initial 230Th/232Th ratio, is essential for the precise age correction of young speleothem samples of low 238U concentration. Finally, we proposed a procedure to correlate modern observation and speleothem based paleoclimate reconstruction, on the basis of precise 230Th age which corrected by the true initial 230Th/232Th ratio.

测试“已知年龄碳酸盐”的初始 230Th/232Th 及其对 230Th 定年和古气候研究的意义

230钍约会(238 U- 234 U- 230的Th测年法)已成为最重要的约会方法第四纪研究之一。然而,230 Th/ 232 Th比值4.4±2.2ⅹ10 -6被广泛用于230 Th定年法的年龄校正。在这里,我们从洞穴中收集了具有确切年龄和零年历史的碳酸钙的活跃洞穴,并通过230 Th 测年对其进行了测年。我们的数据表明,初始的230 Th/ 232 Th 比值可以比 4.4 ± 2.2 × 10 -6的比值高一个数量级。高初始230Th/ 232 Th 比值可能会导致错误的计算年龄比具有低238 U 浓度的年轻样品的真实年龄要大。因此,准确的初始230 Th/ 232 Th 比值沉积在同一洞穴中的活性岩藻,而不是一般的初始230 Th/ 232 Th 比,对于低238 U 浓度的年轻岩藻样品的精确年龄校正至关重要。最后,我们在精确的230 Th 年龄的基础上,提出了一种将现代观​​测和基于洞穴的古气候重建相关联的程序,该年龄是由真实的初始230 Th/ 232 Th 比值校正的。
