Uranium series ages of the Del Mar man and Sunnyvale skeletons

Bada JL, Finkel R, Bischoff JL, Rosenbauer RJ. 1982. Uranium series ages of the Del Mar man and Sunnyvale skeletons. Science. 217(4561):755-756

'We maintain that the assumption of rapid uranium incorporation followed by closed system behavior is tenuous and that 230Th-231Pa concordancy is a necessary but not sufficient condition to establish this behavior and thus the accuracy of the dates.'
