Abstract
The oldest known rocks in this region are the Paleozoic metamorphics. Next in age, thought to be Mesozoic, are the granite basement complex rocks. These basement rocks furnished the materials of which the Ricardo sandstones and conglomerates are composed and subsequently the material for the o1d alluvial deposits. Following the deposition of the alluvium there was a period of deformation during which the granites were uplifted and dissection of the alluvial material and the tilted Ricardo beds set in.
