Geology of a large intact extensional oceanic arc crustal section with superior exposures : Cretaceous Alisitos Arc, Baja California (Mexico) /

The Rosario segment of the Cretaceous Alisitos arc (Baja California, Mexico) is arguably the best-exposed structurally intact and unmetamorphosed oceanic arc crustal section on Earth. The gently tilted, 50-km-long section exposes the transition from upper-crustal volcanic rocks to mid-crustal pluton...
