This study was requested by the County of Riverside to meet their responsibility as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Of the 5, 000 acre project area, 1,800 acres are slated for development (planned development area), leaving the remaining 3,200 acres as open space (planned open space area). Off-site improvements would include, a 92 kV power line and associated access roads, and realignment of an existing AT&T fiber optic communication line through the property, requiring off-site work within the existing AT&T easement on U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. The proposed power line easement will encompass 75 acres, the alternative power line easement will encompass 89 acres, and the ATT fiber optic splice alignment will encompass 22 acres. The project surface is mapped as Quaternary alluvium; Pleistocene to Pliocene Ocotillo Formation, Pliocene Palm Springs Formation, Miocene to Pliocene Mecca Formation, and pre- Cenozoic plutonic, metamorphic, and granitic rocks. Field surveys conducted by Cogstone personnel confirmed the sediments as mapped. No fossils were observed during any of the surveys. The record searches determined that there are no known fossil localities within the Project Study Area (PSA). However, significant fossils have been recovered from the Ocotillo and Palm Springs formations in the vicinity. Additionally subsurface excavation deeper than 5 feet into sediments mapped as Quaternary alluvium may encounter older alluvial sediments with moderate potential to produce fossils. If excavations greater than 5 feet in depth are planned in areas mapped as Quaternary alluvium, or if excavations are planned in sediments

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.

Detailed geologic mapping, measured sections, lithofacies analysis, and preliminary paleomagnetic data indicate that sedimentation and deformation in the Mecca Hills resulted from evolution of local fault zone complexities superimposed on regional subsidence and uplift. Sediment was derived from sources northeast of the SAF and transported southeast along the fault zone in large rivers, alluvial fans, and a smaller fault-bounded lake.

  • Sedimentation and Deformation in a Pliocene–Pleistocene Transtensional Supradetachment Basin, Laguna Salada, North-West Mexico R
    Basin Research (1999) 11, 205–221 Sedimentation and deformation in a Pliocene–Pleistocene transtensional supradetachment basin, Laguna Salada, north-west Mexico R. Dorsey* and A. Martı´n-Barajas† Department of Geological Sciences, 1272 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403–1272, USA †Departamento de Geologı´a, Centro de Investigacio´ n Cientı´fica y de Educacio´ n Superior de Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico ABSTRACT This study examines a thick section of Pliocene–Pleistocene sedimentary rocks exposed in the footwall of an active normal fault (Can˜on Rojo fault) near its intersection with the dextral- normal Laguna Salada fault in north-western Mexico. These rocks are situated in the upper plate of an inactive strand of the Can˜ada David detachment fault, which is cut on the north- east by the Laguna Salada fault. The stratigraphy is divided into three unconformity-bounded sequences: (1) marine mudstone of the Pliocene Imperial Formation; (2) nonmarine Pliocene– Pleistocene redbeds, consisting of sedimentary breccia, conglomerate, conglomeratic sandstone (all un-named) and fine-grained sandstone and mudstone of the Palm Spring Formation; and (3) uncemented Pleistocene boulder gravel. Coarse deposits of the redbeds sequence were deposited in fault-bounded, high- and low-gradient alluvial fans that passed laterally into a low-energy fluvial plain of the ancestral Colorado River (Palm Spring Formation) which occupied the present-day Laguna Salada. Detailed mapping reveals convergence and lap-out of bedding surfaces in the redbeds sequence onto the west limb of a large anticline cored by Imperial Formation. These geometries, combined with fanning dips and thickening of stratigraphy into the flanking syncline, indicate that the anticline grew during deposition of the redbeds.

Plans made for future compilations as new names and revisions appeared were interrupted during the years of World War II. In 1952 a sustained effort was begun toward review of geo­ logic publications necessary to furnish a background for preparation of a new edition. After the review was brought up to date in 1956, the present compilation was prepared in order to furnish to the geo­ logic profession, as quickly as possible, some of the essential data concerning the new names that have appeared since 1935.

  • Revised SCEC Final Report on the NEW East Shoreline Strand of the San Andreas Fault.Pdf Susanne U
    Utah State University From the SelectedWorks of Susanne U. Janecke Fall October 7, 2016 Janecke and Markowski, 2013 (2016 revised) Revised SCEC Final report on the NEW East Shoreline strand of the San Andreas fault.pdf Susanne U. Janecke Daniel K. Markowski Available at: https://works.bepress.com/susanne_janecke/212/ Three parts: Original proposal (2011), provisional report (Janecke, 2013), and a final summary in the form of the MS thesis of Daniel Markowski (2016). The abstract herein is the abstract of Janecke's provisional report except that I updated the name of the fault to East Shoreline strand of the SAF. A different "Shoreline fault" is already in the Quaternary fault and fold database. See Markowski (2016) and Janecke et al. 2016 for additional updates. Summary: In 2013 Janecke submitted a provisional report to SCEC about our research along the newly identified East Shoreline strand of the San Andreas fault. That report is included here as part two. This revised report includes two additional items: Janecke’s original proposal and the MS thesis of Daniel Markowski. These three items are enumerated in the Table of contents. The original proposal was written in 2011 and documents that Janecke discovered the East Shoreline fault zone prior to 2011. Table of contents Janecke’s initial SCEC-2012 proposal: PART ONE This proposal was written and submitted in 2011, and shows that the East Shoreline fault zone was Janecke’s original discovery dating back to before 2011. Sahakian, Kell, Harding, Driscoll, and Kent claim otherwise (Sahakian et al., 2016, BSSA). The author can provide additional written documentation at your request.
