Description: As the Earth and its processes are dynamic, so also is our knowledge of the Earth. Since the GSA Cordilleran Section meeting in San Diego in 1961, new information and new interpretations of Southern California/Northern Baja California/Offshore geology have been added to the library. Some of these new, revised, and often heatedly disputed data are presented herein. There id never a last word in geology, but to the extent possible, we have tried to bring together some of the latest words - including opposing viewpoints. It is hoped that the field trip, plus the written text, and will stimulate worthwhile discussion and help direct the next round of data collection and interpretation.
