Wasatch Fault (Geographic Keyword)
1-3 (3 Records)
The Traverse Ridge site is located in Draper, Salt Lake County, Utah. Six bulk soil samples, collected from buried colluvial deposits in two paleoseismic trenches associated with Wasatch Fault, were submitted for macrofloral analysis to recover and identify charred botanic remains and charcoal suitable for AMS radiocarbon age determination.
EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL AND DETRITAL CHARCOAL FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL AND EXTRACTION OF MICROCHARCOAL FROM THE PENROSE DRIVE TRENCH SITE, EAST BENCH FAULT, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (2010)
A total of eleven bulk soil samples, three charcoal samples, and two shell samples were examined for the presence of organic material suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from two trenches at the Penrose Drive site in Salt Lake City, Utah. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Dating of material from the trenches will be used to help develop detailed information on the timing and recurrence...
MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION OF SEDIMENT SAMPLES FROM THE WASATCH FAULT ZONE, JUAB AND SANPETE COUNTIES, UTAH (2018)
The Skinner Peaks South and Hells Kitchen South trench sites are situated across the Wasatch fault in Juab and Sanpete Counties, Utah. Both sites are located above the Lake Bonneville highstand elevation (Adam Hiscock, personal communication January 29, 2018). Two charcoal and 13 bulk soil samples were submitted for macrofloral analysis to recover and identify charcoal and charred botanic remains suitable for radiocarbon age determination.
