Paleoecology of Kettleman Hills, Coalinga, California
Abstract
The lithofacies at Kettleman Hills in Coalinga, California contain many clues to the paleoecology of the region. Though the examination of lithofacies, invertebrate fossils, and vertebrate fossils we interpret the depositional depths, nutrient availability, salinity, and energy of the environment over the Miocene to the early Pleistocene (11 MYA to 1.8 MYA).
