Drainage
varves, seismites and tsunamites in the Swedish
Varve Chronology.
The fine article by Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth explains how we can have confidence in age dating, based on comparisons of independent data sets ("Testing and Verifying Old Age Evidence: Lake Suigetsu
Varves, Tree Rings, and Carbon-14," PSCF 70, no.
For instance,
varves in lake sediments directly reflect annual climate variations [5].

Varves are seasonal bands that typically form today when lakes freeze each winter.
Three criteria suggested by Smith and Ashley (1985) support an interpretation of
varves: 1) the contact between dark, winter laminae and overlying light (summer laminae is usually sharp and in places bioturbated); 2) the winter laminae have a relatively consistent thickness; and 3) a decrease in sand (fining) up section.

The couplet data are not considered to provide an exact representation of the age of the unit as some couplets may not be true
varves. Also, some laminations have been obscured by deformation and some material has likely been eroded during the onset of fluvial conditions at the top of the unit (at 15 m).
Algae and cyanobacteria grow in this lake in the spring and die off in the autumn, after which they sink to the bottom, thus creating distinguishable annual sedimentary layers (known as
varves).
Varves, which are annual layers of deposition in the sediments, reveal that at least two major earthquakes affected the core: a widespread earthquake in 31 B.C.
