EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FROM PALEOSEISMIC TRENCHES ACROSS THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT NEAR SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2012
Summary
A total of ten bulk soil samples from paleoseismic trenches near San Francisco, California, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating. Samples were collected from trenches across the San Andreas Fault at Crystal Springs South (11CSS). Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Eight radiocarbon dates were obtained.
