WebBecause the Bishop had been dated accurately by the K-Ar method by Dalrymple and others in 1965, the identification of ash beds as Bishop equivalents was particularly important for it provided a dated marker horizon in sediments that enclose the ash beds in areas far removed from the source area. WebThese tephra layers, all underlying the Bishop ash bed and listed in order of concordant age and stratigraphic position, are: A table is presented. The above tephra layers were also petrographically examined and the volcanic glass shards of the layers were chemically analyzed using the electron microprobe and, for some samples, instrumental ...
