A new radiometric date and assessment of the Last Glacial megafauna of Dream Cave, Derbyshire
- Abstract:
- The extinct fauna of Dream Cave, Derbyshire, has played a significant role in the history of British cave paleontology, a near-complete woolly rhinoceros from the cave having being famously illustrated in 1823. The fauna was not subsequently re-studied until 2000, with the publication of an indirect radiometric date by uranium-series disequilibrium dating of a presumed-overlying flowstone. Here we present a direct radiocarbon date of 43,330 ± 1800 yBP on the fauna, with additional comments on the fauna and the taphonomy of the site.
