Introduction to the Geology of Southern California and Its Native Plants by Clarence A. Hall Jr. Pdf
With its active fault systems, complex landforms, and myriad natural habitats, southern California boasts a rich and dynamic geologic environment. This abundantly illustrated volume at last provides an up-to-date, authoritative, and accessible resource for students and general readers interested in southern California's geology and native plants. Covering an extensive area, north from San Diego to Yosemite in the Sierra Nevada and east to the Mojave and Colorado deserts, its unique, comprehensive approach brings together for the first time the basic principles of geology, the story of plate tectonics, in-depth discussion of the geology of many specific locales within the region, and information on identifying southern California's native plants.

Geology and History of Southeastern San Diego County, California by Phillip T. Farquharson,David M. Bloom,Carole L. Ziegler Pdf
This guidebook includes the San Diego Association Geologists' 2005 and 2006 field trips. We begin our exploration in the Peninsular Ranges Batholith in southern San Diego County along historic Old Highway 80 and the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railway. The trip continues east over the Laguna Mountain Escarpment into the breakaway zone of the Salton Trough, mainly off road along rough jeep tracks and hiking trails.

Nearshore Marine Paleoclimatic Regions, Increasing Zoogeographic Provinciality, Molluscan Extinctions, and Paleoshorelines, California by Clarence A. Hall Pdf
Approximately 3000 middle and late Cenozoic nearshore marine molluscan taxa from western California are assigned to six time periods, spanning ~25 m.y. In this interdisciplinary study, western California is palinspastically restored for each of the time periods by backsliding and back-rotating large fault blocks or crustal units. Marine fossil assemblages are assigned to nearshore paleoclimatic regions or water masses within palinspastically restored California. In addition, this volume reveals positive feedback mechanisms between paleolatitudinal changes in sea-surface paleotemperature gradients and changes in the diversity of marine mollusks along the California coast through time; defines "equable" based effective temperatures; and analyzes extinction rates among macroinvertebrate marine taxa from coastal California and the possible causes of these extinctions. The late Paleogene to Neogene faunas reflect an increase in faunal diversity related to strengthened temperature gradients, greater extremes in sea-surface temperatures, reduction in temperateness, and the development of an embayed California coastline.
Geology of San Diego County by Harold J. Clifford,Steven G. Spear Pdf
This volume provides a non-technical overview of the structural and historical geology of the San Diego region. This work guides travelers in the field via interpretive road logs keyed to the post mile marker system. The authors review San Diego's current landforms, seismic environment, and mineral resources with particular emphasis on its natural division into three geomorphic sections -- coastal, mountain, and desert. They also outline the geologic and fossil history of the county as a whole from its origin hundreds of millions of years until about twenty million years ago. Major tectonic plate realignment then differentiated the evolution of the coastal plains and beaches from the Salton Trough deserts are treated separately with the coast and the desert, from Neogene through Quaternary time.

"Unfold a map of North America," Keith Heyer Meldahl writes, "and the first thing to grab your eye is the bold shift between the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains." In this absorbing book, Meldahl takes readers on a 1000-mile-long field trip back through more than 100 million years of deep time to explore America’s most spectacular and scientifically intriguing landscapes. He places us on the outcrops, rock hammer in hand, to examine the evidence for how these rough-hewn lands came to be. We see California and its gold assembled from pieces of old ocean floor and the relentless movements of the Earth’s tectonic plates. We witness the birth of the Rockies. And we investigate the violent earthquakes that continue to shape the region today. Into the West’s geologic story, Meldahl also weaves its human history. As we follow the adventures of John C. Frémont, Mark Twain, the Donner party, and other historic characters, we learn how geologic forces have shaped human experience in the past and how they direct the fate of the West today.
