Strike and dip of bedding.2525

Contact between map units - Generally approximately located or inferred;

dotted where concealed.

?Landslide - Arrows indicate principal direction of movement, queried where

existence is questionable (some geologic features are drawn within

questionable landslides); hachured where headscarp is mappable.

Axis of anticline - Approximately located; dotted where concealed.

Axis of syncline - Approximately located; dotted where concealed.

Strike and dip of overturned bedding.2525

Axis of overturned syncline - Approximately located; dotted where concealed.

Axis of overturned anticline - Approximately located; dotted where concealed.

Fault - Approximately located or inferred; dotted where concealed; queried

where location is uncertain. U = upthrown block, D = downthrown block. Arrow

and number indicate direction and angle of dip of fault plane.

Qs Saugus Formation (early to middle Pleistocene) - Semi-indurated sandy conglomerates

with sandstone and shale interbeds. Contains abundant cobble-boulder sized clasts.

Locally susceptible to landsliding.

Qlp Las Posas Formation (early Pleistocene) - Semi-indurated sandstone and siltstone with

lenses of pebble-cobble conglomerate.

Santa Barbara Claystone Formation (Early Pleistocene) - Poorly bedded soft

claystone/mudstone with local sandstone and conglomerate lenses; highly susceptible

to landsliding. Also known as the Mudpit Claystone.

Unit Explanation

Qw Active wash deposits within major river channels (Holocene) - Composed of

unconsolidated silt, sand and gravel.

Alluvial and colluvial deposits, undivided (Holocene) - Located on the floors of valleys;

includes active stream deposits in hill slope areas; composed of unconsolidated sandy

clay with some gravel.

Alluvial fan deposits (Holocene) - Deposited by streams emanating from mountain

canyons onto alluvial valley floors; deposits originate as debris flows, hyper-

concentrated mudflows, or braided stream flows; composed of moderately to poorly

sorted, and moderately to poorly bedded, sandy clay with some gravel.

Qhf

Qls Landslide deposits (Holocene to late Pleistocene) - Includes numerous active landslides;

composed of weathered, broken up rocks; extremely susceptible to renewed

landsliding, including their headscarp areas.

Tp Pico Formation, undivided (Pliocene) - Composed of claystone, siltstone, and sandstone;

locally pebbly; generally susceptible to landsliding.

Alluvial deposits, undivided (late Pleistocene) - Consists of semi-consolidated silt, sand,

clay, and gravel.Qpa

Alluvial fan deposits (late to middle Pleistocene) - Semi-consolodated, poorly sorted

boulder, gravel, sand, silt, and clay; often form elevated, slightly tilted, terraces on hill

slope areas. Subscript 1 indicates higher (older) level than subscript 2.

Qpf

Tsq Sisquoc Shale (Pliocene to Miocene) - Silty shale and claystone; generally susceptible to

landsliding.

Tmu

Tml

Monterey Formation (middle and late Miocene) - Consists of siliceous and diatomaceous

shale and some sandstone and limestone; generally susceptible to landsliding.

Tml = lower section, containing punky thin-bedded shale; Tmu = upper section,

composed of platy brittle siliceous thin-bedded shale.

Ts Sespe Formation (Oligocene) - composed of sandstone; locally pebbly siltstone and

claystone; rocks are generally reddish in color.

Tcw Coldwater Sandstone Formation (late Eocene) - Composed of hard arkosic sandstone

with siltstone and shale interbeds.

Tcd Cozy Dell Formation (late Eocene) - Consists of micaceous shale with arkosic sandstone

interbeds: generally susceptible to landsliding.

Tma

Tmash

Matilija Sandstone Formation (middle to late Eocene) - composed of hard arkosic

sandstone with micaceous shale interbeds. Tmash consists predominately of

micaceous shale with thin sandstone interbeds.

Tj Juncal Formation (early to middle Eocene) - consists of micaceous shale with arkosic

sandstone interbeds; generally susceptible to landsliding.
