Tectonostratigraphic terranes of the Croissilles Harbour region, South Island, New Zealand Tectonostratigraphic terranes of the Croissilles Harbour region, South Island, New Zealand

The boundary between Hokonui and Te Anau assemblages is flanked by a broad (10–20 km) zone of imbricated slabs of late Paleozoic and Mesozoic lithostratigraphic terranes. Five terranes are mapped, three of predominantly sedimentary character (Dun Mountain‐Maitai, Rai, Pelorus) are separated by two consisting of ophiolitic melange (Patuki, Croisilles). A regional stratigraphy is mapped...

Thermal maturity of tectonostratigraphic terranes within the Franciscan Complex, California Thermal maturity of tectonostratigraphic terranes within the Franciscan Complex, California

Indicators of organic metamorphism provide valuable tools for analyzing the thermal history of tectonostratigraphic terranes. Paleotemperature estimates derived from vitrinite reflectance, for example, are more precise than values based upon inorganic mineral assemblages in low‐grade rocks. Isothermal geometries must be interpreted within the context of structural and stratigraphic data...

Unconformity between Coast Range ophiolite and part of the lower Great Valley sequence, South Fork of Elder Creek, Tehama County, California Unconformity between Coast Range ophiolite and part of the lower Great Valley sequence, South Fork of Elder Creek, Tehama County, California

The South Fork of Elder Creek is located on private property about 6 mi (10 km) northwest of Paskenta, Calif. (Fig. 1). To visit this locality it is necessary to call Mr. Les Sutfin (916-824-4628) and arrange to pick up the key to the gate at his home in Corning. From the Paskenta Store, drive 3.3 mi (5.3 km) north on the Toomes Camp road to the locked gate on the north side of the road...
