Cosmogenic 10-Be and 26-Al ages used at the
Fish Springs fault, Owens Valley, California
We analyzed 10-Be and 26-Al in quartz from 34 granitic boulders on fans at the Fish Springs fault in Owens Valley, California. These data enabled us to estimate rates of vertical displacement along the Fish Springs fault, as well as rates of soil development on the fan surfaces.
