EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL FOR DATABLE CHARCOAL FROM THE TEMBLOR RANGE, CALIFORNIA

Summary

Two bulk soil samples from the Temblor Range in south-central California were floated

to recover charcoal and other organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon

dating will be used for timing of earthquake events along the Cholame segment of the San

Andreas fault. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially

radiocarbon datable material was separated.
