Luminescence data for "Refining depositional timing and fluvial strath terrace abandonment with multiple chronometers near the Stinking Springs fault in southwestern Colorado"

September 10, 2026

This data release contains data associated with six infrared stimulated luminescence samples collected to investigate strath terraces along Dutton Creek, near Pagosa Springs, Colorado. The terraces are capped with loess deposits and glacial outwash derived from Fourmile Creek at the edge of the San Juan Mountains. Results reveal evidence for the Bull Lake glaciation and outwash likely associated with previously unrecognized glacial advances from Fourmile Creek during Marine Isotope Stages 5b and 4.
