EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL SAMPLES FOR POTENTIAL RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM THE FRAZIER MOUNTAIN PALEOSEISMIC SITE, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

The Frazier Mountain Paleoseismic Site is situated along the San Andreas Fault near Gorman, California. Two samples, collected from an alluvial fan on the northern slope of Frazier Mountain (Kate Scharer, personal communication June 17, 2015) were submitted for macrofloral analysis to recover and identify charred botanic remains and charcoal suitable for AMS radiocarbon age determination.
