ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My thanks go to a number of individuals. Chief among them is Professor Durrell, my thesis advisor at the University of California, Davis, and while I conducted the initial fieldwork for this thesis. Included in my appreciation are my dear wife, Gayle, who maintained the hope and the faith that this effort would finally bear fruit; my former, fellow students, including Professor Jad D’Allura, for his important contributions to northern Sierra Nevada geology and gracious permission to include a portion of his mapping in this report’s geologic map, and Joe DeVay for his work on the Shoo Fly rocks (and with the late Gerard Bond), encouragement, discussions, reviewing the draft manuscript, and for loaning me his Shoo Fly thin sections.
