Geology of a Portion of the Ravenna Quadrangle, Los Angeles County

The area investigated contains a section of coarse fanglomerates and basic lavas of middle Tertiary age. It is, as far as known, unfossiliferous. The sediments have been tilted so that they dip in general southwest. Underlying the sediments on the north is a quartz-syenite basement rock. Faulted up...
