Paleomagnetic evidence for a Late Cretaceous deformation of the Great Valley Sequence, Sacramento Valley, California Paleomagnetic evidence for a Late Cretaceous deformation of the Great Valley Sequence, Sacramento Valley, California

Paleomagnetic samples from five localities within the Great Valley sequence range in age from Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous. All samples possess normal polarity, and alternating-field demagnetization experiments show that the remanence was acquired after the sequence was folded. A mean paleomagnetic pole position determined from 17 demagnetized samples is located at 72° N., 181° E...

Significance of Mesozoic radiolarians from the pre-Nevadan rocks of the southern Klamath Mountains, California Significance of Mesozoic radiolarians from the pre-Nevadan rocks of the southern Klamath Mountains, California

Ribbon cherts and siliceous tuffs of the North Fork and Rattlesnake Creek terranes of the Klamath Mountains yield Mesozoic radiolarians. Rocks of the North Fork terrane were previously considered to be of Paleozoic age and those of the Rattlesnake Creek to be of Paleozoic and Triassic age, on the basis of fossiliferous limestone bodies that are now considered to be exotic blocks. In both...
