Creator:: Herzog, David W.
Abstract:: The Whittier fault forms the central part of a fault system extending from the East Montebello fault at Whittier Narrows to the Elsinore fault, which is traced as far as the Mexican border. The Whittier fault forms a restraining bend in this fault system, resulting in uplift of the Puente...

Creator:: Hummon, Cheryl
Abstract:: The northern Los Angeles basin is influenced by two structural styles: the west-trending compressional Transverse Ranges to the north, and the strike-slip Peninsular Ranges to the south. The interaction of these two structural styles has resulted in a complex fold fault belt at the northern margin of the Los Angeles...

Creator:: Spitz, Herbert M.
Abstract:: The southeastern Cuyama Valley is located in the southern Coast Ranges, west of Bakersfield, California. Subsurface geologic mapping using data from 62 prospect wells was integrated with surface mapping to determine the depositional and deformational history of this part of the Neogene Cuyama basin. The northwest-trending Russell fault system was...

Creator:: Graven, Erik P.
Abstract:: Surface geology, seismic data, petroleum exploratory well data, and water well data have been used to analyze the structural and tectonic history of the southern Willamette Valley. Tertiary strata beneath the southern Willamette Valley appear to have had an early Cascade or Clarno volcanic source to the east by the...

Creator:: Calhoun, Jeannette A.
Abstract:: Early structural influences on the Cuyama basin include Oligocene extension followed by early Miocene wrench faulting. Evidence of wrench faulting is obscured by Pleistocene thrust faulting. Detailed surface and subsurface structural analysis was used to separately examine the effects of each structural regime. The northwest-trending, right-lateral Russell fault was the...

Creator:: Pogue, Kevin R.
Abstract:: The oldest sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks exposed in the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan record a gradual transition seaward from the evaporites of the Salt Range Formation to pelitic sediments deposited in deeper water to the north. The Upper Proterozoic Tanawal Formation was derived from erosion of a northern highland produced...

Creator:: Schneider, Craig L.
Abstract:: Detailed subsurface structure contour maps and cross sections have shown the northern Los Angeles basin to be underlain by a south facing monocline that is complicated by secondary faults and folds. The monocline forms a structural shelf that marks the northern boundary of the Los Angeles central trough. The monocline...

Creator:: Huftile, Gary J.
Abstract:: Four cross sections are balanced and retrodeformed to 250±50 ka and 975±75 ka to yield crustal shortening amounts and rates for the western Transverse Ranges of California. The cross sections compare the shortening that occurs along a transfer zone in which displacement is transferred eastward from a surface reverse fault...
