Bedrock and Paralic Deposits at Cabrillo National Monument

Photograph of bedrock and paralic deposits at Cabrillo National Monument. The photograph shows vegetated slopes and exposed rocks along the western coast and cliffs. The caption lists the exposed and mapped rocks and deposits from bottom to top.

From bottom to top: Kuo = undivided rocks of the Rosario Group in the offshore area (Upper Cretaceous). Kp = Point Loma Formation (Upper Cretaceous). Qop6 = old paralic deposits, Unit 6 (middle to late Pleistocene); associated with the Nestor terrace. Kcs = Cabrillo Formation, sandstone (Upper Cretaceous). Cabrillo conglomerate (Kccg) is interbedded with sandstone (Kcs) and also crops out along the park road (see fig. 15). Qvop = very old paralic deposits, undivided (early to middle Pleistocene); associated with the Linda Vista terrace.
