PREFACE
The California Continental Margin Geologic Map Series and this accompanying bulletin
have taken five years to complete. This work could not have been done without the assistance
and encouragement of many enthusiastic and supportive people. The idea of prcxiucing such
a map series was conceived in 1975 during discussions between the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) and the California Coastal Commission (CCC), while formulating the Geological
Element to the California Coastal Plan. However, it was not until 1980 that enough data were
available for work to begin, and at that time the California Department of Conservation's
Division of Mines and Geology (DMG), with partial funding from the California Coastal
Commission, initiated the work. Thus, the publications represent the success of a tripartite
(DMG-CCC-USGS) cooperative effort between state and federal government agencies.
Geology, like many sciences, is continuously evolving, and maps portraying geologic
interpretations are thus ephemeral. This map series is no exception. However, it is the first
standardized offshore geological map series published in the United States, and it does
represent a foundation for detailed marine geological mapping. Many data voids exist, as
shown on the maps, and new marine geological and geophysical data are being collected that
will gradually improve understanding of the geology. Therefore, we foresee the need to
modify the maps in the future and we hope to upgrade the series with periodic reprinting.
We profHJse that new map sheets, such as sedimentary isopachs and seafloor resources, be
added to the series. We welcome any comment about the maps, and are receptive to construc-
tive criticism. We hope that you find the maps and the method of offshore geology portrayal
useful.

INTRODUCTION
This bulletin is a tool for explorationists, planners and
developers with marine geological, geophysical and seis-
mological interests in the California continental margin. It
was developed by the California Department of Conserva-
tion's Division of Mines and Geology, the U.S. Geological
Survey and the California Coastal Commission. We have
presented data primarily in planimetric form on map
sheets (NOAA/NOS 1:250,000 scale) that cover the area
from Mexico north to Oregon and from the California
coastline west to the edge of the continental margin (Fig-
ure 1). This bulletin is a companion to these map sheets,
and presents an explanation of the symbols used in illus-
trations from marine seismic-reflection profiles, represent-
ative composite stratigraphic columns and a
comprehensive bibliography of references reviewed or
used in the compilation of the maps.
One of the principal purposes of this study was to ac-
quire and compile all readily available geologic data for
the California continental margin in a standard format.
Although considerable geologic data exist for this area,
heretofore no attempt has been made to compile and
present it at a common scale with standardized symbolo-
gy-
Geologic symbols conventionally used onshore have
been standardized through years of use. Relatively little
effort, however, has been made to develop a standard
format for many geologic conditions that arc unique to the
offshore. Consequently, marine geologic maps that have
been produced for offshore arca.s commonly show incon-
sistencies in symbology that lead to confusion in interpre-

tation. We present this bulletin in an effort to standardize
the symbols needed to illustrate geologic phenomena iden-
tified by remote sensing techniques in the marine environ-
ment. We hope that this bulletin will assist marine
geologists by providing a reference for standard symbols,
and general users by providing an explanation of symbols
used.
Principal sources of the geologic data used in the compi-
lation of this map series are published, open-file, and pub-
licly available "in progress" studies. The types of data
compiled include, where available:
1. General Geology: Geologic structures (folds and
faults), bedrock outcrops and (where possible) ages
and formational names of units, submarine landslides,
oil and gas seeps, shallow gas-charged zones, and
areas having unusually high rates of erosion or sedi-
ment accumulation.
2. Earthquake epicenter locations superimposed on geo-
logic structure.
3. Focal mechanisms for selected earthquakes superim-
posed on geologic structure.
4. Regional Bouguer gravity anomalies superimposed on
geology and magnetic anomalies.
5. Regional magnetic anomalies superimposed on geol-
ogy and gravity data.
6. Geologic hazards (in red).
7. Sources of data used, oil and gas wells, platforms, and
ship (racklines of data studied.

INTERPRETIVE METHODS
Much of the information presented on the maps and in
this bulletin is ba.sed on the interpretation of subbottom
seismic-reflection data. These data include high-resolution
reflection profiles gathered with echo sounder, sparker
and mechanical pulsing systems, and intermediate to
deep-penetration profiles gathered with 160 kJ sparker,
airgun and watergun systems. Subsurface features ranging
upward in vertical dimension from approximately 1.0 m
to 1.5 m can be resolved in the higher-resolution records
that vary in subbottom penetration from 150 m to over
400 m. The deep-penetration records used to determine
deep structure can resolve features larger than about 1 5 m
in vertical dimension and commonly record geologic
structure at subbottom depths of more than one kilometer.
Ship positioning was accomplished by range-range pre-
cision triangulation, augmented in a few remote locations
by satellite, radar, and incrtial navigation. Location accu-
racy of the seismic data ranges from ab<iut 15 m with
precision equipment to ab<iut 500 m where the ship's radar
alone was used. Although location accuracy was consid-
ered in the map compilation, areas and data sets using
different navigation techniques arc not distinguished.
Therefore, the IcKation accuracy of mapped geologic fea-
tures varies through each map. The structural notations
(i.e., well defined, inferred, and questionable) refer to
confidence of interpretation of geological and geophysical
data rather than IcKation.
Standard interpretive methods were used in the analysis
of seismic-refiection data. For a description of these basic
methods, the reader is referred to Moore ( 1960) and Pay-
ton (1977). Additional criteria used to interpret faults,
seafloor stability and hydrocarbons follow.
Faults
Criteria used here for interpretation of faults are based
on descriptions by Greene and others (1973). Well-de-
fined faults: ( 1 ) distinct displacement of prominent reflec-
tors; (2) an abrupt termination of prominent reflectors, or
the juxtaposition of intervals of prominent reflectors that
have contrasting acoustic characteristics; or (3) an abrupt
change in the dips of reflectors across a distinct boundary.
Inferred faults: (1) small displacement of prominent
reflectors, in which the upper or shallow reflectors may be
bent rather than broken; (2) prominent reflectors that are
discontinuous, and contrasting seismic characteristics that
are present on either side of an acoustically obscure dis-
turbed zone; or (3) apparent changes in dip on either side
of the disturbed zone.
Questionable faults (mapped where obscure interrup-
tions of seismic reflectors are present in the subsurface):
(1) a shift in the phase of reflectors; (2) bent or broken
reflectors that can be correlated with known faults on
other lines; (3) termination of weak reflectors; or (4) any
other zone of seismic contrast, especially where the zone
appears similar to and is aligned with faults identified on
adjacent lines. Some questionable and inferred faults have
been mapped where anomalous tofwgraphic lineaments
appear to support the continuation of known faults.
The orientation of faults is determined principally by
correlation from one seismic line to another. Faults are
correlated between adjacent lines mainly on the basis of
their association with similar structural and seismic fea-
tures on adjacent profiles. Where fault planes dip more
than about 35°, the vertical exaggeration common to seis-
mic-reflection records precludes determining the dip, even
though the records clearly indicate that a fault is present.
Consequently, faults dipping 35° or more are shown as
vertical.
Determining the amount and direction of movement on
a fault is difficult. Only the apparent vertical component
(dip separation) of offset can be measured on the seismic-
reflection profiles; the horizontal comptinent (strike-slip
separation) can be determined only where piercing points
of lines representing equivalent geologic features can be
identified on opposite sides of a fault. Faults that displace
rocks having similar acoustic characteristics arc common-
ly difficult to detect on scismic-rcfleclion records.
The age of most recent faulting as inferred from seismic-
reflection records is commonly determined from the age
of the youngest reflector cut by a fault. However, such age
1987
GEOLOGY OF THE CALIFORNIA CONTINENTAL MARGIN
assignments may be complicated by several factors so that
they may not always accurately reflect fault activity. For
example, active faults in some tectonic settings do not
penetrate rocks near the earth's surface and are expressed
instead by folding at shallow depths. Such faults, though
active, might be interpreted as geologically old fractures
unless associated seismicity indicates modern activity.
Similarly, faults that reach the seafloor in Tertiary or
pre-Tertiary riKks where younger deposits are absent
might not be identified as geologically youthful unless
seismicity data indicate otherwise. Furthermore, in many
areas direct physical evidence of the age of rocks cut by
a fault is lacking; age a.ssignments in such cases are gener-
ally rather loosely contrained by similarities in acoustic
character to rocks of known age in other locations. These
factors should be btime in mind when using maps derived
from seismic-reflection data.
Seafloor Stability
Criteria used for the interpretation of seafloor stability
are those described by Clarke and others (1983, 1985).
Subaqueous landslides mapped are mass movements of
rigid or semi-consolidated sediment masses along discrete
shear surfaces, accompanied by relatively little internal
deformation (Dott, 1963). Landslides are commonly
identifled on seismic-reflection records by the presence (in
longitudinal sections) of some or all of the following char-
acteristics: ( 1 ) a headscarp where the slip surface extends
upward to and is expressed in the seafloor; (2) compres-
sional ridges and folded and contorted subbottom reflec-
tors resulting from small-scale thrusting and folding at the
toe of the slide; (3) transverse (tensional) cracks in the
body of the slide; (4) evidence of rotation or limited inter-
nal deformation of the reflectors; and (5) the presence of
a slip surface, which may be upwardly concave or planar,
represented by a discrete failure plane or by an intensely
deformed zone beneath the slide mass.
The term slump is commonly applied to a slide that
shows evidence of rotational movement along a curved
slip surface, and the term block glide is used for those
landslides having a relatively planar, usually gently dip-
ping slide surface. Subaqueous slides may occur on slopes
of less than one degree and may range in size from simple
failures covering tens of square meters to composite fail-
ure zones thousands of square kilometers in area and from
a few meters to hundreds of meters thick (Mcwre, 1961;
Heezen and Drake, 1964; Lewis, 1971; Hampton and
Bouma, 1977).
Subaqueous mass flows involve the downslope move-
ment under gravity of water-saturated, unconsolidated
sediment; the moving mass may behave plastically or as
a very viscous fluid, and movement may be slow or rapid
(Dott, 1963). The velocity and displacement of flow char-
acteristically decrease gradually with depth below the sur-
face, so that the deposit lacks a distinct slip surface.
Subaqueous flow deposits are identified on seismic-reflec-
tion records by (I) the presence of anomalously thick
sediment masses apparently detached from underlying
strata, (2) the absence of identifiable slip planes, and (3)
acoustic transparency or chaotic internal structure.
Sediment creep in the marine environment is a form of
flow; it is a poorly understood and poorly documented
phenomenon. As it is used here, sediment creep refers to
the slow, more-or-less continuous downslope movement
of the upper layers of unconsolidated sediment. The oc-
currence of creep is inferred from seismic-reflection pro-
files from the presence of hummocky seafloor top<igraphy,
deformed but identifiable acoustic bedding in the upper
sediment layers, a downward decrease in the degree of
deformation, and the apparent absence of a slip surface.
Creep may extend to subbottom depths of 15-20 m, is
commonly associated with other types of failure, and may
affect large areas.
Hydrocarbons
Natural gas of biogenic and thermogenic origin may be
present in marine sediment. Biogenic gas, principally
methane, is derived from bacterial alteration of organic
material in sediment. Thermogenic gas, characterized by
relatively high levels of hydrocarbons heavier than meth-
ane, is a by-product of petroleum formation. The presence
of thermogenic gas in sediment can reflect an over-pres-
surized zone that is discharging gas into the overlying
strata via a conduit such as a fault or bedding plane. Gas
of either type present as bubbles in the pore space of
sediment can increase pore pressure and reduce the shear
strength of the enclosing sediment, and thus enhance the
likelihood of failure. Under some circumstances, sediment
containing dissolved gas can liquefy spontaneously when
it is subjected to cyclic loading such as may be imposed
by earthquake shaking (Hall and Ensiminger, 1979)
Gas accumulation in sediment is suggested on inter-
mediate- to high-resolution seismic records by ( 1 ) the
presence of acoustic amplitude anomalies (apparent as
enhanced or "bright" subbtittom reflectors), (2) the
sharp termination or displacement of reflectors commonly
a.ssociated with acoustically turbid zones, (3) the absence
of surface multiples indicating absorption of the seismic
signal (Nelson and others, 1978), and (4) the presence of
"pull-downs," apparent depressions resulting from the de-
creased velocity of sound in ga.seous sediment and conse-
quent delayed arrivals of acoustic returns. Water-column
anomalies on high-resolution seismic records in some
ca.ses suggest gas bubbles in the water column, although
other phenomena such as kelp and fish produce similar
appearing features. Side-scan sonographs and underwater
video or photographic coverage can show gas seep
mounds or gas-developed craters on the scaflo<ir. Several
lines of geophysical evidence are desirable, and sampling
and gc(Khemical analysis are needed to verify the presence
of gas and to identify its origin.

EXPLANATION OF
STRATIGRAPHIC TERMINOLOGY
AND
MAP SYMBOLOGY
Each of the seven maps in the Cahfornia continental
margin geologic map series has a geologic legend and
explanation that explains the symbols and terminology
used on that particular map. Here we have presented both
a legend of stratigraphic units and unit symbols (see
Master Legend) and an explanation of other map symbols
(see Master Explanation) that are comprehensive in their
coverage of the symbols and terminology used in the map
series. We have also presented examples of interpretive
line drawings of subbottom profiles (along with the seis-
mograms on which they are based) to illustrate the use of
the map symbols in specific geological contexts.
Stratigraphic Units
The stratigraphic units used in this study are lithostrati-
graphic in nature. In most cases, an age or age range is
assigned to each unit. The descriptions and the age desig-
nations have been established from fairly widespread core,
dredge and dart samples offshore and from outcrops, well
logs and cores in the immediate onshore. The units were
then correlated across large regions using seismic signal
characteristics that differ according to inherent rock prop-
erties. These units can be referred to informally as "acous-
tic stratigraphic" or, as described in the North American
Stratigraphic Code (code of stratigraphic nomenclature),
as instrumentally defined. The ages should be considered
part of the general description of each unit, and the reader
should be aware that most are naturally lime transgressive
or regressive in nature.
The order in which the units appear is approximately
youngest to oldest, but this order should not be looked
upon as superpositional. As the reader will quickly dis-
cern, many of the units given in the Master Legend are
local in extent.
Geologic Contacts
Geologic contacts shown on the maps are extrapolated
from a combination of seismic-reflection data, samples,
and bathymetry, and are approximate in location. Unless
otherwise specified, the seafloor geology represented on
the geologic maps is covered with a thin (several meters)
layer of Quaternary or Holocene sediments. Thus, the
geologic maps represent seafloor geology as it would ap-
pear if the thin layer of Quaternary sedimentary cover
were removed. Where faults offset this thin layer of Qua-
ternary sediments, the faults are given the age symbol for
the most recent sediments they cut, even though they are
shown on the map as existing in an older geologic outcrop
(for example, faults of Holocene age are mapped in undif-
ferentiated volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Miocene
age on the top of Tanner and Cortez bank.
Symbols
The symbols used in the offshore (see Master Explana-
tion and examples 1-46 of subbottom profiles) to denote
specific geologic features are in part different from those
traditionally used in onshore geologic mapping. This dif-
ference stems from the data acquisition methods used in
offshore versus onshore mapping.
Most offshore geologic data are collected by remote
sensing techniques that yield acoustic seismograms like
those shown with the examples of subbottom profiles.
Many of the examples in this section are modified from
Greene and others (1975, 1983) and Yerkes and others
(1980). Others are selected from data collected and re-
ported on by Kennedy and Welday ( 1980), Kennedy and
others (1980), Field and others (1980), Richmond and
others (1981), and Clarke and others (1983).
Each example shows a short reproduced section of the
seismic-reflection profile with an interpretive line drawing
that empasizes a particular geologic feature. Beneath each
illustration is the symbol used on the maps and a short
explanation including the approximate location of the pro-
file. All features considered to be potential geologic haz-
ards are shown in red on the geologic maps. Each example
has a number which is keyed to a location map (Figure
2).

SLUMP: boundaries solid where well defined, dashed where inferred, queried where un-
certain. Arrows indicate apparent direction of movement in deposits of late Tertiary and
Quoternory (QTs) age. Movement of the slump mass along a generally arcuate failure
surface has destroyed the bedding and produced o nonreflecling zone. Example from
Uniboom profile across the continentol slope off outer Santa Cruz bosin, central Californio
continental margin.

COMPOSITE STRATIGRAPHIC SECTIONS
The stratigraphic columns are composite, generalized
sections developed by compiling and modifying onshore
and offshore data from Greene and Clark ( 1*)79), Hoskins
andGrifTiths (1971), Howell and others (1978), McCul-
loch and others (1982. 1985), Vedder and others ( 1974,
1976, 1980), and Clarke (1987), as well as from unpub-
lished sources.
Each of the columns shows the generalized geology for
the area in which it is located. Each section has a number
that is keyed to a location map (Figure 3). The reader
should not attempt to correlate the stratigraphic units
from the columns to the maps because the maps are con-
structed primarily from acoustic stratigraphic units and
the columns represent rock stratigraphic units exclusively.
Rock stratigraphic names are tentatively correlated to
acoustic units on the geologic legends only where dredge
and core data support their use. The thickness of geologic
units shown on the columns is approximate and was
derived, where available, from seismic velocities, well logs,
and onshore geologic maps.
The reader should note that the diagramatic strati-
graphic columns from Hoskins and Griffiths (1971) in-
cluded in the text are not individual well sections, but are
composite representative sections for entire offshore ba-
sins, and that the indicated thicknesses are the interval
maximum for the entire basin.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
This bibliography includes those references studied and,
in part, used to compile the California continental margin
geologic maps. Also included are references that, because
of their scale or subject, were not used directly in this
compilation, but which may be useful to investigators in-
volved in geologic studies within the region. The refer-
ences consist of published geologic data and unpublished
Master's and Doctoral theses that are readily available, as
well as open-file reports, administrative reports and re-
cently released proprietary data.
