The East Franklin Mountain fault is located in the area of EI Paso, Texas. A paleoseismic trench across the fault encountered at least three buried soils. The third of these, 13Kb3, radiocarbon dated to 29,520 ± 260 BP, was sampled as suspected cienega deposits in order to assist in determinating vegetation in the area during the time of development of this soil. Samples were analyzed for pollen and plant macrofossils. Modern vegetation on the alluvial fans in the area consists of sparse...
