  • Right-Sljp Offset of the Eocene Ballena River Valley Across the Elsinore Fault Zone, Southern California
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7773/cm.v9i1.412 RIGHT-SLJP OFFSET OF THE EOCENE BALLENA RIVER VALLEY ACROSS THE ELSINORE FAULT ZONE, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Patrick L. Abbott Ronald P. Kies Dermis R. Kerr Department of GeologicaI Sciences San Diego State University San Diego, California 92182 U. S. A. ABSTRACT TWO small paleovalleys carved into granitic rocks of the Peninsular Ranges contain conglomerates similar to the Eocene Ballena Gravels farther west in San Diego County. These conglomerates are dominated by the distinctive, temporally restricted, Poway rhyolite clasts. The newly discovered fluvial conglomerates lie in the Vallecito Mountains east of the Elsinore fault zone. Extrapolation of the offset fluvial valley trends to the Elsinore fault suggests 37 kilometers (23 miles) of right slip. RESUMEN Dos valles pequeños paleolíticos, grabados en cuerpos graníticos de la Cor- dillera Peninsular, contienen conglomerados semejantes a las gravas de la Forma- ción Ballena del Eoceno, localizada al peste, en el Condado de San Diego. Este conglomerado es dominado por clastos riolíticos de la Formación Poway, los cuales son característicos y están temporalmente restringidos. Los conglomerados fluviales recientemente descubiertos, se encuentran en las Montanas del Vallecito, al este de la zona de la falla de Elsinore. Proyectando los rumbos de los conglome- rados fluviales y de las gravas a través de la falla de Elsinore, se observa un despla- zamiento de 37 km. (23 millas) en un sentido lateral-derecho. INTRODUCTION The Ballena Gravels (actually conglomerate ) were named by Fairbanks (1893) for a prominent, southwest-trending line of outcrops on the western flank of the batholithic Peninsular Ranges in San Diego County (figure 1).

(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.
