I took a class on earthquakes and volcanoes in college, and we had a field trip to FREMONT, CA to look at the Hayward fault. We walked all over town tracing the fault and seeing the surface effects, and the last stop was in a bar that was right on the fault and had a crack going through the concrete floor and into the ladies room. edit- my bad, it wasn't Hayward, it was Fremont which is the next town southeast of Hayward.

There's a small creek in Oakland that flows down a hill, makes a 90° turn as it then follows the Hayward fault for maybe 50 meters, and then another 90° turn as it continues down its "original" path from about 50 centuries ago. I took a picture of my standing with one foot on each side of the creek, as the earth ripped my feet apart at the blistering speed of one meter per century.

This reminds me of a time when I was at a small evolution conference in Kaikura. We took a side trip to see the K-Pg boundary in a little gorge carved by a stream. The problem was that, while we knew it was there somewhere, we didn't have a geologist with us, so we had troubles locating it. Eventually we decided it was where there was the highest density of drilled holes, which we figured were from (probably student) geologists taking cores.

@OutThereLearning 3 месяца назад

Sounds like Woodside Creek. You are quite right, the KPg boundary is where the drill holes are.
