Despite the Klamath Mountains being the birthplace of the term \u201ctectonostratigraphic terrane,\u201d the ages, correlations, and tectonic settings of many Klamath terranes are still debated. One of the most enigmatic terranes is the Rattlesnake Creek terrane (RCT), a m\u00e9lange of metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous blocks with a volcanic and sedimentary sequence deposited on top. Recent work shows that the overlying RCT cover sequence has a North American provenance but formed after accretion to the continental margin, so it is unclear if the basement m\u00e9lange formed proximal or distal to North America. My research group conducted field mapping, petrography, and zircon geochronology. Our results show that the southernmost RCT preserves both Early Jurassic and Middle-Late Jurassic cover sequence deposits and records continental clasts and 33% pre-Mesozoic zircons at ~201 Ma. Rather than forming in a distance oceanic arc, the RCT likely formed at an east-dipping subduction zone proximal to North America.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/june-2026-scgs-meeting-with-sdag-tickets-1990652316666?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true” button_text=”Attend Next Meeting” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#0C71C3″ button_border_radius=”7px” button_letter_spacing=”0px” button_font=”||||||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_margin=”-15px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ button_text_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”width: 15%!important;” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Upcoming MeetingsFuture Meetings May 23, 2026 Hike & Brew @ Clark Regional Park and Fullerton Brew Co.\u00a0 June 6, 2026 Geology Hike @ Little Corona del Mar Beach with Dr. Rick Behl and LABGS, Newport Beach June 10, 2026 @ Joint meeting with SDAG at El Adobe restaurant in San Juan Capistrano July 6, 2026 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-732","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732"}],"version-history":[{"count":46,"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/732\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1762,"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/732\/revisions\/1762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/southcoastgeology.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
