Geology[edit]
The San Francisquito Formation is from marine deposits of the Late Cretaceous period
of the Mesozoic Era, and the Early Paleocene epoch in the Paleogene period of
the Cenozoic Era.[1][2] It is overlain by the Punchbowl Formation (east) and Castaic
Formation (west), both of the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.[1] It overlies the crystalline
San Gabriel Basement Complex.[1]
It is found between the San Andreas Fault on its north, and the Devil's Punchbowl Fault
on its south.[1][2] The Pliocene epoch Crowder Formation is to the northeast.[1]
Fossil content[edit]
It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.[3]
