(upper middle Miocene), Jacalitos(early upper Miocene), Etchegoin (uppermost Miocene), Tulare(Pliocene and lower Pleistocene), and late Quaternary alluvium andterrace deposits. These formations, with the exception of certainigneous and metamorphic rocks associated with the Franciscan, areof sedimentary origin, and, with, the exception of minor portionsof the Miocene series and most of the Tulare and later beds, are ofmarine deposition. They indicate that the greater portion of thearea included within the Coalinga district was beneath the sea duringintervals occui)ying probably the major portion of the time from theJurassic to the end of the Miocene. The latest movements of theland, which produced the features of topographic relief now to beseen, did not take place until Quaternary time.

Text Appearing After Image:
10 PALEOXTOLOGY OF COALINGA DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA. FRANCISCAN FORMATION (JURASSIC?). General description.—The Franciscan formation occupies the centralportion of the Diablo Range and comprises the oldest, most altered,and most distorted rocks in the district. The original sedimentaryrocks of the Franciscan are sandstone, shale, and jasper, with whichare associated glaucophane, actinolite, and related schists, serpentine,and other metamorphosed rocks, and, in one area, soda-bearing horn-blende syenite. The serpentine is by far the most important of therocks in or associated directly with the Franciscan. Age.—No fossils have been found in the Franciscan formation inthe Coahnga district, and similar conclusive evidence as to its age isalso lacking in other districts where it is known throughout the CoastRanges. It antedates the Knoxville (Lower Cretaceous) and isusually considered Jurassic, but further than this httle can be saidregarding its age. KNOXVILLE-CHICO ROCKS (CRETACEOUS). G
