Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baja California: wild, desolate, and a treasure-house of geological wonders. Along its ancient shorelines, careful observers can learn much about how the Gulf of California came into existence and what the future of the Baja California peninsula might be. For those who wish to unlock the mysteries of Baja California, geologist Markes Johnson offers the key. He has taken a body of technical research on the geology and paleontology of the region and made it accessible in plain language for anyone who visits the peninsula, whether for study or recreation. His book teaches general concepts in coastal geomorphology and tectonics, as well as the basic geological and natural history of the Gulf of California, in a conversive, intellectually stimulating fashion. Johnson's guide takes the form of six day-long hikes in the area of Punta Chivato on the east coast of the southern Baja California peninsula. Punta Chivato is presented as a microcosm of the entire region; it can enable visitors to better understand major themes in the natural history of the Gulf of California and its geological past. All of the hikes begin at the southeast corner of the Punta Chivato promontory and loop out in different directions. Each circuit is designed to minimize overlap with adjacent hikes and to maximize the visitor's exposure to instructive variations in the landscape. Each chapter features additional reflections on a geologist of another time and place who has advanced the field in a way that elucidates the material covered in that chapter. Through these asides, readers will learn the basic lessons about how geologists read the secrets hidden in landscapes. Discovering the Geology of Baja California invites visitors to these shores to explore not only rocks and fossils but also the continuum of past ecosystems with the ecology of the present. It offers both an unparalleled guide to a remote area and a new understanding of life caught in an endless cycle of change.

Book excerpt: Baja California, stretching 800 miles south into the Pacific Ocean from the California-Mexico border, has been called the "forgotten peninsula," a remote frontier whose natural wonders and history have remained largely unexplored. One of the world's longest peninsulas, Baja California harbors astonishing evidence of the hunting and gathering peoples who once lived here, yet the region has been little studied, and not much has been published about its archaeology and prehistory. This volume brings together recognized U.S. and Mexican scholars who have been actively engaged in primary research on the peninsula during the last two decades. It is the first comprehensive book-length study to describe and document new insights into an ancient past. Because of its relative isolation, the richness of its early historical record, and the comparatively pristine character of many parts of the peninsula, Baja California's prehistory is of particular interest to archaeologists and anthropologists. Beginning with topical essays on the emerging evidence from paleoenvironmental studies, linguistics, early historical documents, and 20th-century ethnographic studies, followed by chapters on the prehistory of seven of the peninsula's best studied regions, the authors also discuss potential directions for future research and the problem of protecting and preserving the physical traces of the prehistoric past. This book will be a standard reference for archaeologists, anthropologists, scientists, geographers, instructors of courses in North American prehistory, university libraries, and tourists.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Paleontology and Stratigraphy of the Marine Pliocene and Pleistocene, of San Pedro, California The field work upon which this paper is based began in the winter of 1886, when the writer first visited the fossil-bearing beds of San Pedro. Since that time several visits have been made each year to the beds in that vicinity, generally after heavy rains, when landslides and the breaking Off of the banks have given new exposures. The Specimens Obtained during these excursions are in the collection of the writer's father, Delos Arnold of Pasadena, California, and have furnished most of the material on which the present paper is based. It was first intended to compile a list, with synonymy, of the fossils of San Pedro and vicinity, but the scope of the paper has been enlarged until the present work is the result.

Download or read book Volcanic and Nonmarine Stratigraphy of Southwest Isla Tiburon Gulf of California Mexico written by Jay Robert Neuhaus and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southwestern Isla Tiburon (SWIT), Gulf of California, Mexico, is an area approximately 30 square kilometers, containing sedimentary and volcanic strata which are predominantly Early and Middle Miocene in age. A fossiliferous marine conglomerate on SWIT is believed the oldest marine deposit in the Gulf of California region, and supports the conclusion that a marine protogulf existed 15 to 8 Ma. K-Ar ages from this and previous studies provide a time constraint on the deposition of the marine conglomerate and the overall volcanic history of SWIT. Dips of beds suggest listric faulting occurred throughout much of the Miocene: Redbeds dip 40-50°N, basalt flows 23oN, conglomerates 20oN, and an ignimbrite 5oNW. A fault along Arroyo II displays right-lateral, strike slip and may be related to the La Cruz Fault which trends NW-SE along the southwest end of the island. In the late Cretaceous-early Tertiary, SWIT was part of the arc system along the western margin of the North American Plate. At this time, SWIT was adjacent to northeastern Baja California. In the Early Miocene Basin and Range extension led to the formation of small trough-shaped basins, and fluvio-lacustrine deposition resulted. Volcanic and roof pendant debris was shed into small basins on SWIT from the north. At 21-19 Ma andesitic volcanism occurred and a volcanic collapse structure formed which was later filled with andesitic lahar. The andesitic magma apparently formed out of a primary melt of the lower crust. From 19-16 Ma basaltic volcanism was dominant on SWIT and both tabular flows and ring dikes developed. The basalt of SWIT is alkalic olivine-augite, is high in incompatible elements and is similar to Early and Middle Miocene basalts of the Imperial Valley-northeastern Baja California region. Dacitic pyroclastic volcanism followed basaltic volcanism on SWIT, and between 14 and 11 Ma a protogulf developed which was filled with pyroclastic and conglomerate debris. At 11 Ma volcanism on SWIT became predominantly rhyolitic. First, rhyolite ignimbrite extruded, and, in the late Miocene, rhyolite pods, coulees, and crystal dikes developed. In the early Pliocene a dacitic ignimbrite with a tholeiitic character extruded reflecting conditions associated with modern Gulf of California rifting and seafloor spreading.
