- •
Major glacial advances recorded in moraines at two sites in the Basin and Range.
- •
Ages of moraines are estimated with terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) analysis.
- •
Erosion complicates use of TCN analysis to date moraines from older glacial advances.
- •
Erosion of older moraines may be increased during times of subsequent glaciation.
- •
TCN ages determined by different laboratories and investigators show agreement.
