Regional Geology

This geological map and associated information on rock units at or nearby to the coordinates given for this locality is based on relatively small scale geological maps provided by various national Geological Surveys. This does not necessarily represent the complete geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.

Eocene - Late Jurassic
33.9 - 163.5 Ma



ID: 3032435
Franciscan Complex Mélange

Age: Phanerozoic (33.9 - 163.5 Ma)

Stratigraphic Name: Franciscan Complex

Description: Parts of the Franciscan are a chaotic mixture of fragmented rock masses in a sheared shaly matrix. Coherent rocks masses large enough to be shown on this map are divided into specific types.

Cretaceous - Jurassic
66 - 201.3 Ma



ID: 2791060
Franciscan melange

Age: Mesozoic (66 - 201.3 Ma)

Stratigraphic Name: Franciscan Complex

Description: Melange of fragmented and sheared Franciscan complex rocks.

Comments: Coast Ranges. Includes areas of Franciscan rocks specifically distinguished as melange on the Geologic Map of California. Includes parts of central and eastern Franciscan belts of Blake et al. (1988)

Lithology: Major:{melange}

Jurassic
145 - 201.3 Ma



ID: 2709471
Franciscan Complex

Age: Jurassic (145 - 201.3 Ma)

Stratigraphic Name: Franciscan Complex

Description: Mélange: A tectonic mixture of variably sheared shale and sandstone containing (1) hard tectonic inclusions largely of greenstone, chert, graywacke, and their metamorphosed equivalents, plus exotic high-grade metamorphic rocks and serpentinite and (2) variably resistant masses of graywacke, greenstone, and serpentinite up to several miles in longest dimension, and including minor discrete masses of limestone too small to be shown. Blocks and resistant masses have survived the extensive shearing evident in the mélanges matrix, and range in abundance from less than 1 to 50 percent or more of the rock mass. The degree of shearing in the unit ranges from gouge to unsheared rock, with resistant masses relatively unsheared and matrix sheared. Severely sheared shale is abundant in areas where blocks are abundant. Fresh, relatively unsheared rock is hard, the larger resistant masses are pervasively fractured, and blocks are commonly tough and relatively unfractured. Sandstone is graywacke, grayish green where fresh, weathering to brown, commonly medium to coarse grained, containing abundant angular lithic grains and no detrital potassium feldspar, except rarely as much as 5 percent. Graywacke is locally veined with quartz and carbonate, and usually contains microscopic secondary pumpellyite. Topography of coherent masses resembles that of unit Kfs, whereas highly sheared matrix typically yields subdued, gently-rounded topography. Good exposures of both sheared matrix and relatively unsheared graywacke and shale occur at the crushed rock quarry just east of the intersection of State Highway 17 and U.S. Highway 101, in Greenbrae (Novato quadrangle)
