Radiometric ages of brachyuran crabs from the Galapagos spreading-center hydrothermal ventfield
Abstract
The ages of four crab carapaces from the Galapagos spreading-center hydrothermal ventfield were determined radiometrically using members of the U and Th decay chains. One animal had an age of 0.1 years and therefore had undergone molting just before collection; the other three had last molted 3-4 years before collection.
