It's a beaimut 😍 ! No radiometric ages (difficult in this age range), but sort of. Using mean estimated western carribbean sedimentation rates and sediment cover, I estimate 10-50 years. But based on freshness, I think more like 10 to maybe 20yr. (See Rubin et al. 2023, https://zenodo.org/records/13930806)
Both historical EPR eruptions (1991-92 & 2005-06) I dated with 210Po, but it only goes back 2.5-3 yrs. For this MCR interval, we would use 210Pb-226Ra, but since moving to RI, I no longer have a lab for that. I will have a new clean lab in a building we should have by 2028, but not right now.
