Abstract:

These data are from samples gathered in 2016 from the CLY-2 site in eastern Washington, USA (Location: 46.3131, -118.4874, WGS84). The CLY-2 is a roadcut exposing a vertical face of the Palouse loess containing carbonate paleosol horizons and tephras. The samples were collected from a set of three stepped trenches into the roadcut about 10-20 m apart. Each trench was excavated to a depth of about a meter to expose a fresh surface; the final ~10 cm was excavated with non-ferrous digging tools.

Five samples were collected from each depth; all five were analyzed for magnetic susceptibility and frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility at Whitman College using a Bartington MS-2 with the MS-2B benchtop sample analyzer.
