Datasets documenting late Pleistocene faulting in the Pondosa fault zone, Pit River Region, Northeastern California
These datasets provide bedrock mapping and geochemistry, low-temperature thermochronology, remotely mapped lineaments, field observations of interpreted faults, and structure from motion models in the Pit River Region of northeastern California. The bedrock mapping datasets contain bedding orientations and field rock descriptions and associated geochemistry and 40Ar/39Ar data for a limited number of samples. Low-temperature thermochronology datasets contain (U-Th)/He measurements for two samples from the Klamath terranes. Remotely mapped lineaments, field observations of lineaments, and structure from motion models document the Quaternary-active faults in the region. Simplified fault traces for interpreted Quaternary-active faults are provided for seismic hazard studies.
These datasets are associated with the manuscript:
