The Palo Colorado Fault crops out behind and underneath the stairs in this view of the sea cliff of Garrapata Beach in Big Sur, California. Zooming in on the fault zone reveals slickensides on the granites to the left (northeast side of the fault), and bedding on the turbidite sedimentary rocks to the right (southwest side of the fault). The fault zone itself is composed of fault gouge and fault breccia. Most of the large clasts in the fault breccia are sedimentary. The fault zone is often wet, as it is here in this image taken after a long dry spell, indicating that groundwater percolates along the fault.
A broader view of the fault outcrop showing more of the seacliff is available here:
