Geological Tour of Poly Canyon
Melange and Miocene

melange and miocene

Above the landslide that extends into the architects area... the bouldery area in the mid ground. Grassy hills are mostly melange, but the dark hilltop on the ridgeline is a remnant of the Miocene rocks, with the unconformity lying just below the top of the hill.
