Description
Summary:THERMOLUMINESCENCE (TL) of fossil bones and of various kinds of recent biological material has been reported by Jasińska and Niewiadomski 1 , who suggest that such materials could be used for dating purposes, but draw attention to difficulties which arise due to tribothermoluminescence (TTL, which is thermoluminescence derived from the mechanical energy of grinding) and to chemiluminescence (CL) associated with residual organic material.
