Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | diatomaceous,white "shale" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: pure white diatomaceous shale | |
| Environment: | submarine fan |
| Geology comments: The material constituting this formation is hypothesized to be a mixture of several submarine fans of turbidite from the Santa Monica Mountains, deposited at depths of approximately 1000 m below sea level (Sullwold, 1960) during strike-slip activity of the basin against the San Gabriel fault approximately 12 Mya (Rumelhart and Ingersoll, 1997). | |
Taphonomy
