Synopsis

This book explores the geological relationship between separate rock complexes in Southern California, suggesting they were once part of the same formation, separated by geological processes that caused a 130-mile displacement along the San Andreas fault. The author provides a detailed description of the rock formations, petrography, and history of the two terranes, supporting the hypothesis that they were contiguous in the geologic past and have been separated due to right slip on the San Andreas Fault System. This work contributes to our understanding of the geological history of Southern California and the processes that have shaped its unique landscape, providing valuable insights for future research on the displacement and history of the San Andreas fault.
