Map showing general geology of north-central California and special emphasis on the California Coast Ranges. Oceanic rocks are emphasized on this map, and oceanic volcanic rocks associated with OPS are highlighted by red labels in the Franciscan subduction complex of the California Coast Ranges. In some cases the actual size of the volcanic rock exposure is exaggerated because most of the actual exposures consist of imbricated basalt, chert, and siliciclastic rocks. The largest exposures of mafic-intermediate oceanic volcanic rocks and overlying pelagic sediments are associated with accreted island arc terranes (labeled “va”) or large ophiolitic sheets (some examples are labeled “voc”). Revised from Wakabayashi (2016b)
