Evidence for tectonic movement of the Las Positas Fault, Alameda County, California Evidence for tectonic movement of the Las Positas Fault, Alameda County, California

On October 29, 1979, a new exposure of the Las Positas fault zone near Livermore, California, was created by excavation of a creek bank along Arroyo Seco. The face of the bank was cleaned by geologists of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (Livermore, California) to obtain a better and more complete view of the fault. The excavation was undertaken by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory as part of a...

Neogene basin formation in relation to plate tectonic evolution of San Andreas fault system, California Neogene basin formation in relation to plate tectonic evolution of San Andreas fault system, California

More than 90% of the known petroleum accumulations west of the San Andreas fault in California are in strata deposited in areally restricted Neogene basins that formed during a major tectonic reorganization of western California. These deep, localized Neogene basins replaced broad, regionally persistent Paleogene depositional aprons, although some of the Neogene basins in northern and...
