The paleontologic and geologic importance of the Plio-Pleistocene Palm Spring Formation (Salton Trough, southern California) demands an accurate and stable nomenclature. To resolve the semantic disagreements resulting from the differences between the restricted and expanded concepts of the Palm Spring Formation, this study elevates this unit to group rank and recognizes five lithostratigraphic units of formation rank within it: the Arroyo Diablo Formation (new), the Olla Formation (new), the Tapiado Claystone (new), the Hueso Formation (change in rank, emended name), and the Canebrake Conglomerate. This proposed revision affects mainly the rocks in the vicinity of Vallecito Creek, Fish Creek, and Carrizo Creek in the Salton Trough of southern California and unifies the tectonostratigraphic products of a major depositional system that filled small basins along the North American-Pacific transform boundary. This study presents the most recent revision of the stratigraphic nomenclature of the Palm Spring Formation. It continues a process that recognizes lithologically distinct facies of this unit as distinct lithostratigraphic units. |
