Discordant 14C ages from buried tidal-marsh soils in the Cascadia subduction zone, southern Oregon coast

Auteur :
NELSON, A. R.

Description :
Peaty, tidal-marsh soils interbedded with estuarine mud in late Holocene stratigraphic sequences near Coos Bay, Oregon, may have been submerged and buried during great (M>8) subduction earthquakes, smaller localized earthquakes, or by nontectonic processes. Radiocarbon dating might help distinguish among these alternatives by showing that soils at different sites were submerged at different times along this part of the Cascadia subduction zone.
