Calcite U-Pb analytical results documenting the evolution of Miocene normal and dextral faulting in the lower Colorado River region near Blythe, California, USA
Faults in the study area are commonly coated with synkinematic calcite, and we use laser ablation inductively-coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U-Pb geochronology to determine the timing of this mineralization. This dataset presents the results of those analyses and age determinations of different samples and …
