Current Projects
1.) Silver coin project.
Proposal is on my desktop, written, almost finished, but no budget yet. Preliminary data exist (three coins irradiated on April 23rd, counted on April 24th, but pretty much the only thing I can see are silver and gold lines), but more analysis is needed. Also, attached is a paper on NAA on silver coins.
2.) IGEM PAA on gold-bearing ores project.
Proposal is submitted and pending. We should hear about it next week. Maybe Jon Stoner can give more info on it.
3.)Fossils project.
Fossils obtained from SDSM&T were irradiated and counted in February. Spectra are analyzed, and there is a match between a fossil and a corresponding matrix. Report is written. No proposal, however I think we should proceed with it and contact Darrin Cognac, who provided samples. Doug is interested in this too.
