GARNET WASH FORMATION AND THE IMPERIAL GROUP: A NEW LOOK AT OLD PROBLEMS, COYOTE MOUNTAINS, WESTERN SALTON TROUGH, IMPERIAL COUNTY, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, USA


MORGAN, George J., 4671 Lee Avenue, La Mesa, CA 91942 and MORGAN, J.R., 4671 Lee Avenue, La Mesa, CA 91942-6938, georgemorgan@cox.net

Recent detailed mapping has led to new interpretations of the Garnet Wash Formation and Imperial Group in the Coyote Mountains. Miocene and Pliocene stratigraphy brought in from the Split Mountain area of the Fish Creek Mountains does not work within the eastern and southern part of the Coyote Mountains. The Imperial Group is complicated by at lest three transgressional and regressional events. The Garnet Wash (as named by Christensen, 1954) appears to lie between two of these transgresional-regresional events in the Imperial Group.
