Map of Franciscan Complex tectonic terranes.
This map shows the seven terranes of the Franciscan
complex which are mapped in the park and the mélange
(“Central terrane”) that separates them. Each terrane
represents a period of accretion and is characterized
by a specific history of rock deposition and degree of
metamorphism.
