Ring Mountain Field Trip

#RingMountain #fieldtrip #geology

For our Metamorphic Petrology Class we visited Ring Mountain, in Marin County, which display serpentinite matrix melanges of the Franciscan subduction complex. Here, we were able to see evidence of multiple burial-exhumation cycles and subduction erosion. We were also able to observe more rare rock types like eclogite, amphibolite, and coarse-grained schist.
