Full title: Field Excursions in Southern California: Field Guides to the 2016 GSA Cordilleran Section Meeting
Editors: Brian Kraatz, Jade Star Lackey, and Joan E. Fryxell
Prepared for the 2016 GSA Cordilleran Section Meeting, this volume contains six chapters that highlight geological features and processes of southern California and southwestern Nevada, including newly mapped areas in the Mojave Desert, Coyote Mountains, and recently designated Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. Topics include tectonics, volcanics, stratigraphy, mineralogy, and paleontology, spanning the Mesozoic and Cenozoic history of the region.
This field guide places special emphasis on the modern perspective of the interplay of tectonics, magmatism, and metamorphism in the Cordilleran arc system.
