“…(5) Cambrian to Devonian eugeoclinal deposits of chert, siliceous argillite, limestone, shale, metaserpentinites, and volcanics belonging to the El Paso terrane (Miller and Sutter, 1982;Carr et al, 1984;Walker, 1988;Martin and Walker, 1995;Gehrels et al, 2000b). The Roberts Mountains allochthon, a similar package of eugeoclinal rocks in Nevada, differs from the El Paso terrane in that the Roberts Mountains allochthon has been thrust over belts (3) and (4) during the Antler orogeny (e.g., Stevens and Greene, 1999;Gehrels et al, 2000a).…”

“…presented a structural contour map depicting the nature of the contacts juxtaposing the Barcroft pluton against its wall rocks. The Barcroft structural break clearly is a major, SE-dipping, high-angle reverse fault, although along the (Stevens and Greene 1999), and approximately coincides with a NW hairpin bend in the initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr 0.706 line (not shown); the latter marks the isotopically defi ned western edge of Precambrian basement (Kistler and Peterman 1973). The Barcroft structural break is situated about 25 km to the SE of these features.…”

“…These active transcurrent systems have accommodated tilting and Plio-Pleistocene uplift of the White-Inyo block (Stockli et al 2003), but ongoing major displacement involves chiefl y dextral slip, amounting to about 7 ± 2 mm/yr on the west, and 5 ± 2 mm/yr on the east (Dixon et al 2000;Miller et al 2001;Oldow et al 2001). Farther north, this modern strike-slip regime may account for the westward defl ection of the Golconda and Roberts Mountain allochthons as well as the western jog in the initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr 0.706 line marking the Pacifi c edge of North American Precambrian basement (Kistler and Peterman 1973;Stevens and Greene 1999). The area provides a remarkably well-exposed case study of the Phanerozoic crustal evolution of California (Stevens et al 1997), involving the addition of granitoids to the upper continental crust (Krauskopf 1968;Crowder et al 1973).…”

“…The Poverty Hills, a small, isolated bedrock block composed of upper Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and Mesozoic plutonic rocks [60,61], lies just south of a 3-km left step in the Owens Valley Fault in the central part of Owens Valley ( Figure 6). Different workers have interpreted these hills as (1) a transpressional basement uplift caused by this restraining bend in the dextral fault zone [12,62,63];…”
