Abstract
ESR ages were obtained for three members of Valles Rhyolite in New Mex ico, U.S.A., using quartz. The ages obtained by using Al center were s ystematically younger than the ones using Ti center. The results of an nealing experiments indicate that part of the centers could have been reduced while the samples had been buried. It is proposed to use a sta ble component of Ti centers for dating.
