AMS-dated mollusks in beach ridges and berms document Holocene sea-level and coastal changes in northeastern Kuwait Bay

2015-09-01

Abstract excerpt

In northeastern Kuwait, ancient beach ridges and associated berms are separated from the present shoreline by a 4–6km-wide sabkha. A diverse mollusk fauna in the beach ridges attests to a former open marine environment. A total of 21 AMS dates were obtained in this study. Thirteen mollusk samples from beach ridges yielded AMS dates ranging from ~6990calyr BP in the southeast to ~3370calyr BP in the northwest, sugg...
