This book was released on 1970 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minerals in Holocene and late Pleistocene basin sediments of the northern California Continental Borderland are derived from local sources, and in minor amounts from wind- and current-borne sediment. Source, sea level fluctuations, differential settling, and sedimentation by floods control the distribution of the mineralogy. River-sediment mineralogy can be divided into northern sedimentary, central igneous-metamorphic, and southern batholithic suites. Analysis of cores reveal mineralogic variations that are largely contolled by sea-level fluctuations. Numerous well-sorted gray silt layers in Santa Barbara Basin appear to be flood-deposits that formed after unusually heavy storms, such as occurred in 1969. (Author).

Book excerpt: This SEPM/PS-SEPM volume celebrates the life and scientific achievements of Donn S. Gorsline focusing on the California Continental Borderland, a region where Donn worked extensively. The 18 papers in this volume span offshore Borderland basin settings and exposures in onshore, inner Borderland regions affected by tectonic uplift. They touch on aspects of sedimentation in the modern source-to-sink sedimentary systems, encompassing some world-class Miocene to Pleistocene outcrops and the subsurface distribution of submarine fan and hemipelagic facies, as well as the structural evolution of the Borderland basins and their associated magmatic components. The broad topics covered will be of interest to a spectrum of geologists and geophysicists interested in transtensional to transpressional basin settings, the Cenozoic tectonic evolution of southern California, models of deep-marine to coastal depositional systems, as well as regional hydrocarbon exploration. Additionally, the geologic history and structure of the California Continental Borderland are connected with the distribution of modern seafloor life and marine ecosystems. This volume serves as a benchmark of current research in the region with the aim of spurring future exploration and study.

Gorsline and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of cores collected from representative California Borderland basins shows that the factors influenced by climatic factors (water temperature, biological activity) show fluctuations that match those noted in deep ocean sediments. Times of cold climate and lowered sealevel also coincide with times of markedly higher sediment contribution. The peaks of this detrital contribution are sharply defined and occur at times of coldest temperature. They rapidly decline with the warming portion of the cycle. The effect of this input dilutes the more regular cycle of biological productivity to produce the apparent carbonate and carbon content of the basin cores. Thus, when the carbonate content is low, the calcium carbonate rate of sedimentation was actually faster than present but was overwhelmed by the associated pulse of terrigenous sedimentation. Similarly, the slight lag between carbon input carbonate input and sediment contribution exaggerates the difference in time of maxima in organic carbon versus carbonate carbon contents of the basin sediments. A need for a higher resolution time scale for refining the cyclicity of the sedimentation rates of individual components and the resulting combined effects is evident. (Author).
