- Description
-
Franciscan pillow basalts crop out at the mouth of the Big Sur River in Andrew Molera State Park. The pillow basalts represent lavas erupted underwater, probably at a mid-ocean ridge or other deep-sea setting, that were scraped up onto the continent at a convergent margin. Nearby radiolarian chert indicates the deep-sea setting of the volcanism. Franciscan basalt is generally late Jurrassic to Cretaceous in age. Oceanic rocks that comprise the Franciscan Assemblage was obducted onto the continent during the Cretaceous at the same convergent margin that created the magmas responsible for the Sierra Nevada Batholith.
