ABOUT THE VOLUME

The purpose of this volume is to document and disseminate new information on the geology and mineral resources of the California Transverse Ranges. These Ranges extend across California from Point Arguello and San Miguel Island eastward some 300 miles to the Eagle and Chuckawalla Mountains near the Colorado River. They cover an area roughly equivalent in size to Massachusetts and New Jersey combined. This province consists of a series of long, narrow, east-trending mountain ranges and valleys that are transverse to the northwesttrending Coast Ranges to the north and the Peninsular Ranges to the south. The northwest-trending San Andreas fault makes "a great bend as it passes through the province. Rock units from nearly all eras and periods are represented, beginning with Precambrian rocks over two billion years old.

This region is an important repository of mineral wealth. Deposits within the Transverse Ranges have con tributed major amounts of iron ore, diatomite, carbonate rock, clay, shale, crushed rock and hydrocarbons to the market place. In past years, chromium, mercury, gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, tin, tungsten and borate minerals were produced. To this diversity can be added large undeveloped resources of phosphate rock with accessory uranium and great amounts of titanium and aluminum which occur in the San Gabriel anorthosite complex. Such deposits could contribute to the supply of mineral resources with improved technology. The resources in the Transverse Ranges are vital to the industrial economy of California.

This 700-page volume is dedicated to Mason Lowell Hill, an outstanding structural and economic geologist whose research in the Transverse Ranges has led to worldwide advances in structural and exploration geology.
