  5. Geologic History • Mainly sedimentary rocks • Some metamorphic and igneous rocks can be found (metamorphic rocks are the oldest) • These igneous and metamorphic rocks are typically found in the Franciscan Formation, which came about from the subduction of the Farralon Plate

  6. Norris, 2003, p. 65

  7. Geologic History • Sedimentary strata are indicative of many different environments • Such as the marine Eocene Cozy Dell Formation and the red, non-marine late Tertiary Sespe Formation • Younger formations in the coastal plain record the influx and retreat of the sea

  8. Structural Features • Crustal shortening • Uplift • “Big Bend” • Faulting and Folding Montecito Overturn
