San Lorenzo formation - The San Lorenzo formation, within the limits of the Santa Cruz quadrangle, is characteristically of shale and fine sand. It outcrops in the region north of Ben Lomond Mountain and between the latter and Castle Rock Ridge, its areal dis tribution being controlled by the northwest-southeast folds which are the prominent structural features of this portion of the quadrangle. The formation attains a maximum thickness of about feet on Kings Creek. The most abundantly fossiliferous localities are on the San Lorenzo River, Kings Creek, and Two Bar Creek, and also along the south side of the Big Basin. The following fauna has been obtained from the San Lorenzo in various parts of the Santa Cruz quadrangle.
