U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2011-1082, 5 p. http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2011/1082/ ABSTRACT: This report presents the numeric values for the chronology of the paleoclimatically relevant mid-to-late Pleistocene record of the ratios of stable oxygen isotopes (d18O) in vein calcite from Devils Hole, Nev., which recently had been extended into the mid-Holocene. Dating was obtained using thorium 230-uranium 234-uranium 238 (230Th-234U-238U) thermal ionization mass spectrometry. ADDITIONAL REFERENCES: Landwehr, J.M. and Winograd, I.J.. 2012.

Two specimens from Devils Hole Cave no. 2 are used to extend the original Devils Hole DH-11 isotope record (Winograd et al. 1997) into the mid-Holocene. Devils Hole Cave no. 2 (DHC2) is approximately 200 m north of Devils Hole. Specimen DHC2-8 precipitated between 30,000 and 4,500 years before present, and Specimen DHC2-3 precipitated from 80,000 to 19,000 years before present.
