Abstract
The late Jurassic and Cretaceous Eastern Franciscan belt of the northern California Coast Range consists of two multiply deformed, blueschist-facies terranes; the Pickett Peak and Yolla Bolly terranes. Four deformations have been recognized in the Pickett Peak terrane, and three in the Yolla Bolly terrane. The earliest recognized penetrative fabric, D1, occurs only in the Pickett Peak terrane. The later penetrative fabrics, D2 and D3, occur in both the Yolla Bolly and Pickett Peak terranes. D1 and D2 apparently represent fabrics that formed during subduction and accretion of the terranes. Fabrics from both D1 and D2 are consistent with SW-NE movement directions with respect to their present geographic positions. D3 postdates blueschist-facies metamorphism of the terranes and may be related to emplacement of the terranes to higher structural levels. A broad regional warping, D4, is evident from the map pattern and folding of large metamorphosed thrust sheets. D4 folds may be related to deformation associated with oblique convergence along the continental margin in late Cretaceous and (or) early Tertiary time. ?? 1989.
