The extent of racemization (epimerization) for a range of amino acids in specimens of the fossil bivalve Anadara trapezia suggest a Penultimate Interglacial age (oxygen isotope stage 7) of approximately 200,000 years B.P., consistent with the...

The extent of racemization (epimerization) for a range of amino acids in specimens of the fossil bivalve Anadara trapezia suggest a Penultimate Interglacial age (oxygen isotope stage 7) of approximately 200,000 years B.P., consistent with the geological context of the fossiliferous marine strata.
