Constraining The Miocene Slip History Of The Southern San Andreas Fault Through Sedimentary Provenance Analysis, Jacqueline Giblin Aug 2019

Constraining The Miocene Slip History Of The Southern San Andreas Fault Through Sedimentary Provenance Analysis, Jacqueline Giblin

Master's Theses

Tectonic reconstructions of the southern San Andreas Fault (SAF) system (California, USA) have produced conflicting estimates of cumulative strike-slip offset from middle Miocene to present. We propose that the sedimentary record can resolve both spatial and temporal development of this system, allowing us to reconstruct the paleogeography of this system in the past 10 Ma. An important, but unresolved consideration is whether the Miocene Coachella Fanglomerate, located on the northwestward migrating Pacific side of the dextral SAF transform plate can be correlated to the Bear Canyon Conglomerate located ~200 km to the southeast in the foothills of the southerly Chocolate …
