Thank you very much....Catalans are strong so..

"Whew, that was close."

Indeeddddddddd


"Well, Xavier, the "best" method depends on the kind of
material and lab resources that you have. If apt, you might try determining
the age of the containing sediment by archaeological methods, such as
potsherds. The associated species of Quaternary beetles or other insects may
be useful to determine the age, as they are sensitive to climate. Pollen.
Aminostratigraphy. Other methods might turn up on a Google Scholar search.

Hi Everybody,

What is the best method apart from carbon isotopoes of dating a recent
coprolite?

Thank you in advance!

Xavier,

This inter/intra Iberian sniping is downright bloody boring. I (and I
suspect most others on this list) have very limited interest - and now very
limited sympathy - for these silly digressions and red herrings.

Why don't you back off. If this continues I'm going to petition to have you
excluded from the list. Otherwise I will drop this list.

Your belated sweetening via matters linguistic and culinary hardly leavens
this thread.
