Paleomagnetic evidence of localized vertical axis rotation during Neogene extension, Sierra San Fermn, northeastern Baja California, Mexico

Paleomagnetic data from Sierra San Fermfn in the Gulf of California Extensional Province indicate that localized clockwise rotations about vertical axes occurred uring Pliocene through Recent extension and dextral shear. Relative declination discordances in upper Miocene and Pliocene ash flow tuffs indicate a net clockwise rotation of 30 ø _+ 16 ø. Clockwise rotation between 12.5 and 6 Ma is st...

Structural controls on the continent-ocean transition in the northern Gulf of California

In the Gulf of California the Pacific-North America plate boundary changes character from an oceanic-type spreading center and transform fault system (to the south) to a region of diffuse continental deformation (to the north). The presence of spreading centers commonly inferred in the northernmost gulf is not supported by bathymetric, heat flow, gravity, or seismic data which indicate signific...

Evolution of the margin of the Gulf of California near Loreto, Baja California Peninsula, Mexico

The Gulf of California is a prime example of a young oblique-divergent plate boundary. This type of plate boundary is much less well understood than classic rifts and passive margins in divergent plate settings. A complexity in the Gulf of California is that the modern oblique rifting was preceded by a stage of orthogonal rifting. We have used extensive mapping as well as stratigraphic, geomorp...

NEOGENE TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE MAGDALENA SHELF AND SOUTHERN GULF OF CALIFORNIA: INSIGHTS FROM DETRITAL ZIRCON U-Pb AGES FROM THE MAGDALENA FAN AND ADJACENT AREAS

The Magdalena fan is an apparently beheaded submarine depocenter that has figured prominently in Middle to late Miocene reconstructions of Pacific-North American plate interactions. The deposit accumulated rapidly at the base of the continental slope atop newly formed oceanic crust of the Farallon plate from 14.5-13 Ma. Subduction of this crust ceased as the Pacific-Farallon spreading center en...

Novel patterns of historical isolation, dispersal, and secondary contact across Baja California in the Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata).

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation was examined in 131 individuals of the Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata) from across the species range in southwestern North America. Bayesian inference and nested clade phylogeographic analyses (NCPA) were used to estimate relationships and infer evolutionary processes. These patterns were evaluated as they relate to previously hypothesized vicariant ...
