Detrital zircon geochronology of the Shoo Fly Complex, northern Sierra terrane, northeastern California Detrital zircon geochronology of the Shoo Fly Complex, northern Sierra terrane, northeastern California
U-Pb analyses have been conducted on 92 individual detrital zircon grains from 4 of the main thrust sheets of the Shoo Fly Complex. Samples from the Culbertson Lake allochthon, Duncan Peak allochthon, and Lang sequence yield mainly 1.80-2.10, 2.20-2.45, and 2.55-2.70 Ga ages, which suggests that sediments in these units originated in a cratonal region containing Paleoproterozoic and...

The age of scarplike landforms from diffusion-equation analysis The age of scarplike landforms from diffusion-equation analysis
The purpose of this paper is to review developments in the quantitative modeling of fault-scarp geomorphology, principally those since 1980. These developments utilize diffusionequation mathematics, in several different forms, as the basic model of fault-scarp evolution. Because solutions to the general diffusion equation evolve with time, as we expect faultscarp morphology to evolve...
