Iranian Makran beaches in Pozm bay, Chabahar bay, and Beris provide field pictures, radiocarbon dating results, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating data. The dataset includes SEM images of shells and analytical details for both dating methods. Raphaël Normand from the University of Geneva published this data in support of a research paper.
Use Cases
- Reconstructing Holocene coastal evolution based on sedimentary field observations.
- Calibrating and comparing radiocarbon dating results with OSL dating results.
- Analyzing shell composition and structure using provided SEM secondary electron images.
Strengths
- Includes multiple dating methodologies: radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL).
- Provides supplementary analytical details for both dating methods, such as environmental dose parameters and calibration details.
- Contains visual data in the form of field pictures and SEM images of analyzed shells.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific studied beaches.
