“…Deposition of some of the sand may have been contemporaneous with the formation of the 100-foot terrace or higher terraces; thus the deposits probably range in age from late Pleistocene to Recent. Similar terrace levels along the coast of Santa Barbara County have been assigned a late Pleistocene age by Upson (1951).…”

“…In general, this subunit represents the earliest and oldest dune-sand accumulations on the island, possibly late Pleistocene in age, and much of it on the upland and the western escarpment probably accumulated during the period when sea level was about 100 to 200 feet higher than at present and when the broad lower terrace was being cut (Upson, 1951). This interpretation is based mainly upon thick beds of coarse sand containing numerous well-preserved fragile f oraminiferal tests, bits of seaweed and wood, and large, angular molluscan shell fragments in the basal part of the unit far inland from the present beaches.…”

“…These rocks include, from oldest to youngest, the Coldwater Sandstone, Sespe Formation, Vaqueros Sandstone, Rincon Formation, Monterey Formation, and Sisquoc Formation. The Sespe, Rincon, Monterey, and Sisquoc Formations typically form the rocks of the mountain slopes and the rocks of the coastal piedmont (Arnold, 1907;Dibblee, 1966;Lian, 1952;Minor et al, 2009;Olson, 1982;Upson, 1951). In some cases, these rocks are locally uplifted in the cores of anticlines and along faults (Minor et al, 2009).…”

“…The southern fl anks of anticlines adjacent to the coast in the SBFB generally have fl ights of marine terraces consisting of wave-cut platforms covered by a thin veneer of sediment that may include beach sands and gravel, dune sands, and/or stream deposits (Upson, 1951;Lajoie et al, 1982;Muhs et al, 1992). When the ages of a marine terrace (wave-cut platform) and associated paleo-sea level are known, the rate of uplift may be estimated .…”

“…Since the reconnaissance work of Lawson and Smith, no other writers have attempted a general analysis of the terraces; instead, they have confined their efforts to a detailed study of terraces in small areas or to brief description of terraces as incidental to quadrangle mapping of geology. Among the most thorough local studies were those of Davis (1933) at Point Dume, Putnam (1942) at Ventura, Woodring, Bramlette, and Kew (1946) at Palos Verdes HiUs, and Upson (1951a) at Gaviota. Briefer reports of local terrace elevations have been given by Ellis and Lee (1919), Hoots (1931), Bremner (1932Bremner ( , 1933, Norris (1951), and others.…”
