Description :
The AA. summarize various estimates of the minimum age of the Summit Lake landslide. Tephrochronology and two-radiocarbon dates establish that the slide was deposited between, 7 840 and 19,000 yr B.P.| age estimates from soil data are less conclusive, but fall within the range indicated by tephrochronology. Divergence time determined by seriological and morphological characteristics of trout populations (3.8 to 17.2 ka) also is in reasonable agreement with the other estimates.
