Regional geology of Mount Diablo, California : its tectonic evolution on the North America plate boundary /

Mount Diablo and the geology of the central California coast ranges are the subject of a volume celebrating the Northern California Geological Society's 75th anniversary. The breadth of research illustrates the complex Mesozoic to Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the plate boundary.
