EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF MATERIAL FROM PALEOSEISMIC TRENCHES ACROSS THE BULNAY FAULT, MONGOLIA, AND THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT, CALIFORNIA (2010)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

A total of six bulk soil samples from paleoseismic trenches were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. Three samples were recovered from the Bulnay Fault in northern Mongolia and from the San Andreas Fault in northern California. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of 11 AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained.
