Man I can't even pronounce half of that definition.

Cool though.

Ok, im not on crack. No wonder i've never heard of it. That would make for one amazing find.

You would have better chance in Death Valley. Some of the oldest rocks on earth can be found there.

A little off topic, but something else thats cool out that way is the San Andreas Fault, just outside Mecca off Box Canyon Road. You can actually walk on the San Andreas fault which is pretty cool.

The other really cool place that I know of to see the fault is in Carrizo Plain NP. You can see a stream bed make a Z bend from the fault moving the bottom of the river over 400 feet. Just a neat place in general that I highly recommend for some learning and exploring.

OK.. According to GeoRoss, no. it probably does not show up in AB area. Oh well.. plenty of cool stuff anyways.

Excellent pic, that is very interesting. I'd like to see the water flow during a flash flood.

I wonder why it's KT and not CT. Maybe the "C" got used on some other important period?

Miked, as per GR no kt boundary. But there is a lot of really cool geology. The granitic rocks are cretaceous age but they were inplaced at great depth ..... about 6-9 km. before they were uplifted. A great new book is out about the AB desert over the last 7 million years.

And yes (patting self on back) I was a contributor to the publication.
Sunbelt also published a book "Geology of Anza Borrego: Edge of Creation" that is a great resource.
