- We present results of Th/U dating, stable isotope and trace element data from a speleothem from Puerto Rico. Th/U dating was performed using isotope dilution MC-ICPMS. Activity ratios were corrected for initial Th assuming an detrital weight ratio 232Th/238U = 0.154 ± 0.038 (corresponding to an activity ratio of the detritus in secular equilibrium of (230Th/232Th)detr = 19.79 ± 4.93), and secular equilibrium of the detritus. Ages are calculated using the decay constants by Cheng et al. (2000)). Uncertainties are given as 2σ- range, and do not include half-life uncertainties. Th/U dating shows that stalagmite PR-LA-1 covers the period from 15.4 to 46.2 ka with a growth interruption between 35.5 and 41.1 ka. Stable isotope samples were drilled with a spatial resolution of 1 mm and measured using an IRMS equipped with a Gasbench. Element/Calcium ratios of the speleothem were measured by laser ablation ICPMS and were reduced to the resolution of the stable isotope records.
