- Summary:
- The Salinas Valley region contains the type areas of the Monterey Shale and the Santa Margarita and Pancho Rico Formations as well as the type areas of the Relizian and Luisian Stages of Kleinpell. Only in and very near the Adelaida 7-1/2-minute quadrangle do strata representing these three marine units crop out in close proximity. In addition, beds that contain fossil marine mollusks of Paleocene age crop out in the quadrangle. Of particular significance in Coast Range stratigraphy are the wide range in Tertiary age fossils found in the Adelaida quadrangle and the geographic position of the quadrangle between the type areas of the Relizian and Luisian Stages of Kleinpell.
