Data release for spatial and temporal analysis of geologically derived fault slip rates, Cucamonga Fault, California, USA

April 20, 2023

This report summarizes the age-dating results from two alluvial fan surfaces (map units Qyf2 and Qyf3) that are broken by strands of the Cucamonga Fault, in southern California, at Day Canyon and Etiwanda Canyon. Within this report are detailed the methodology used to collect samples of rock and sediment, determine concentrations of cosmogenic beryllium-10 in purified quartz isolated from the samples, and use those nuclide concentrations to calculate surface exposure ages. This report should be used as the supplementary materials for any publication(s) that uses the nuclide concentrations and/or ages reported herein. This version supersedes all previous age estimates and reports.
