ESR Plateau dating of fault rocks
Past movement on faults can be dated by measurement of the intensity of ESR signals in quartz. These signals are reset by lattice deformation and heating on grain contacts during faulting. The ESR signals then grow back as a result of bombardment by ionizing radiation from surrounding rock. The age...
