Amino acid enantiomeric (D/L) ratios in late Pleistocene, marine mollusks from three uranium-series dated localities (Cayucos and the San Diego Nestor Terrace in California USA and the Magdalena Terrace in Baja California Sur) provide calibration points for establishing a 120,000 yr isochron for interpolation of amino acid age estimates over a broad latitudinal range (35.degree. N to 24.degree. N latitude) of the California-Baja California continental borderland. Leucine enantiomeric ratios in specimens of the bivalve Chione cf. undatella from the Magdalena Terrace, compared with ratios predicted by a kinetic model for 120,000 yr samples with constant (modern) diagenetic temperature, indicate slight paleotemperature reductions (1-2.degree. C) at Magdalena Bay during late Pleistocene glacial episodes in the northern hemisphere. 6 pp., 3 figs, 4.
