Late Pleistocene slip rate based on offset alluvial fan near Redwall Canyon. Rate of about 4.5mm/yr estimated from 46m rl offset reported by Reynolds (1969) and estimated age of incision of fan surface (5-20ka) based on geomorphic expression of alluvial deposits and correlation of rock varnish ages in southern Death Valley by Dorn (1988). Slip rate of 5-12mm/yr reported by Klinger and Piety (1994) may be too high because of their assumption that Redwall Canyon alluvial fan surface is 40-70ka. Cation-ratio dates of rock varnish in southern Death Valley reported by Dorn (1988) suggest age of 100-170ka, which would reduce mean rate from 8.5mm/yr to .5mm/yr. |
