Abstract
La aplicación de los resultados de un análisis de racemización de aminoácidos en geocronología ofrece importantes ventajas respecto a otras técnicas, al ser esta más rápida y económica. Sin embargo, como con cualquier otra técnica, la racemización no está exenta de fuentes de incertidumbres que deben ser analizadas previamente a la interpretación. En este trabajo se exponen los resultados obtenidos del análisis de racemización de un grupo de 25 gasterópodos continentales fósiles hallados en una excavación de investigación paleosismológica en el municipio de Alhama de Murcia. En particular se compara la ratio entre aminoácidos con estructura dextrógira y levógira (relación D/L) de los ácidos aspártico y glutámico. En primer lugar, se revisan las principales fuentes de incertidumbre que afectan a la racemización. Seguidamente se muestra la metodología empleada para descartar muestras y, finalmente, se aborda una interpretación preliminar de los resultados en relación con la estratigrafía local y la paleosismología.
The use of the amino acid racemization technique in geochronology offers a great advantage compared to other techniques, as racemization analyses are usually much faster and cheaper. However, as in any other technique, amino acid racemization is subject to a number of uncertainties, which have to be thoroughly analysed previously to any interpretation of the data. In this work, we present. the results obtained in a group of 25 continental gastropods found in a paleoseismological trench in Alhama de Murcia (Betic Range, Spain). We carry out the comparison of dextrorotatory and levorotatory configuration (relation D/L) of the aspartic and glutamic acids. First, we review the different sources of uncertainty in the racemization process. Subsequently we show the methodology followed for discarding samples and, finally, we interpret in preliminary terms the results in relation to the local stratigraphy and paleoseismology
