Berkeley, Tuesday, Feb 22
George Washington's first day, and a
bright day it is, that some mist is in the air
coming in from the Pacific.
Worked all day with Clark on my paleo-
geographic maps. They are tallying on a changed
loot and especially in the vanishing of the Bride
land. Will finish tomorrow. See notes
elsewhere.
At 3.30 Clark took me on his Ford over
the Berkeley Hills to see two of the fault valleys
and several of the faults' throats. All of the
shores are much folded and often crumpled
in play due to movement near the fault
zone. San Franciscan, Cretaceous and
much of Cenozoic. The top side down of the hills
is two large fault scarps.
These hills are filled with dunes and
many flood stream beds. Some is paying attention
to the nature of the ground and many dunes
are built on a fault zone that may form
aggravated 17 feet. The most fascinating.
