Summary

A radiometric age determination on wood in tin-bearing alluvium from Selangor gives a result of about 36,000 years B.P. This is consistent with the view that the deposits formed during a period of rejuvenation of river systems during the Pleistocene. Meagre palynological evidence indicates the deposit is late Pliocene or younger.
