It is common practice to estimate the age of undated material extracted from a sediment core from radiocarbon
or other radiometric dates of samples taken above and below the extracted material. This paper presents a simple expression
for the variance of this estimated age. This variance accounts for both 14C dating error and error due to bioturbation.
