A small array of charged particle detectors above ground was run in coincidence with the Soudan2 underground detector from 1999 to 2000. Almost 4600 coincident cosmic ray events were analyzed with primary energy between 1014 and 1017 eV. The energy was determined from the density of particles in the surface array: groups of scintillator modules and proportional tubes. By analyzing the number of underground muons and comparing with air shower Monte Carlo simulations, the cosmic ray composition in this energy range was estimated. These data suggest the nuclear composition remains mixed up to at least 1015 eV.
