“…Invertebrate megafossils and protistan microfossils are not common in the Pigeon Point Formation. However, gastropods, bivalves, ammonites, and foraminifers indicate a Campanian to Maastrichtian age of the unit (Branner and others, 1909;Hall and others, 1959;Clark and Brabb, 1978;Elder and Miller, 1989).…”

“…The mean of six pebble counts from the Juncal Formation (table 6 and 1;McLaughlin and others, 1988;Brabb, 1989). Late Campanian fossils are reported from these rocks (Elder and Miller, 1989;Elder, 199Ib). The Cretaceous rocks structurally overlie the Franciscan assemblage.…”

“…It is not clear if the basement under the Pigeon Point consists of granitic rocks of the Salinian block or of the Franciscan assemblage (subduction complex) of the Nacimiento block (Howell and Joyce, 1981). Fossils of Campanian or Maestrichtian age have been reported (Hall and others, 1959;Saul and Popenoe, 1962;Saul, 1983;Elder, 1989). Most recently, the sequence was considered upper Campanian (Elder,199la).…”

“…Macrofossils are typically rare in the Pigeon Point Formation but are locally abundant in the shelf facies. Of the approximately 66 species known from the Pigeon Point Formation and the 50 species known from the Upper Cretaceous rocks near Lorna Prieta, only 8 to 10 species are common to both areas (Elder and Miller, 1989). Only one species is present at both areas but not known from elsewhere-the crab Archaeopus antennatus Rathbun, 1908.…”
