Abstract In this review we have critically evaluated the application of the diagenetic racemization of amino acids to geochronology and geothermometry. Although there has been enthusiastic support given to this new method, it is our opinion that recent developments suggest a more cautious approach. We have discussed the pitfalls and inherent complications, while outlining the advances which have been accomplished. We conclude that this is an innovative approach which will add valuable information to the scientific literature. However, since our fundamental understanding of diagenetic racemization is still limited, many of the age and paleotemperature estimates which have been assigned to fossil specimens may be unreliable.
