Abstract
By means of a direct method for determining the nuclide protactinium-231, a deficiency in ocean water was found to be accompanied by unsupported Pa 231 in ocean sediments. Protactinium-ionium ratios obtained for a surface and a deep section in the same equatorial core yielded apparent ages which were in agreement with predicted ages.Keywords
