POLLEN ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLE EF-ECG-1-05, EGLINGTON FAULT, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; R.A. Varney

Year: 2006

Summary

A single sample from the Eglington Fault in Las Vegas, Nevada, was analyzed for pollen

and charcoal identification. This sample was collected from a colluvial wedge in the last rupture

at the EI Campo Grande site of the Eglington Fault. Pollen analysis was used to determine the

local vegetation at the time of the rupture. Charcoal in the sample was identified and submitted

for an AMS radiocarbon date.
