Neogene biostratigraphy of selected areas in the California Coast Ranges

These papers on the marine Neogene (Miocene and Pliocene) of California are intended to provide orientation and documentation for a field conference on the Neogene biostratigraphy of the California Coast Ranges. They also constitute status reports on the age and correlation of key sections in Neogene basins of coastal California. Many new biostratigraphic data, particularly on planktic microfossils, are incorporated in these resumes.
