Figure 3. Cross section of Kooken Cave and overlying land surface. No vertical exaggeration. Lower portions of cave, with white tone and no black line, are unmapped, because they are underwater. The cave extends to unknown depth. General position of sample locations is indicated by number. Dashed lines show cave passages that are behind others. Modified from a map by Bryan Crowell. Figure 3.

Figure 4. Photograph composite view of the uppermost sedimentary deposit investigated in Kooken Cave. The top surface is at an elevation of 875 feet amsl (267 m), mid is moist and mud-cracked.

Figure 5. Summary diagram showing elevation, sediment lithology, said overall magnetic results from Kooken Cave. Each dot represents a s ple pair (averaged), starting widi samples IDS468/489 at top, and ending with IDS 490/491 at the bottom. Vertical gray lines show present-day field values for declination and inclination. Figure 5. Summary diagram showing elevation, sediment lithology, said overall magnetic results from Kooken Cave.

Figure 6. Vector endpoint (Zijderveld) diagrams for typical paleomagnetic samples from Kooken Cave. Both samples shown have normal polarity. Sample IDS482 shows a weak viscous magnetization that was removed by application of a 10 mT alternating field demagnetization. Figure 6.

The absence of a reversal, and uncertainties about depositional continuity for paleosecular variation, make it difficult to assign an age (duration of sediment collection) to Kooken Cave on a paleomagnetic basis. Therefore, we used two other approaches to constrain the age present sediment accumulation rates in the cave, and elevation of the cave relative to local base-level. [Pg.80]
