Figure 6(a-e). Individual cross-sections through segments A through E are labeled A-A’ through E-E’ and shown with interpreted faults and horizons. Anticlines within this survey are the San Pedro Bay anticlinorium (SPBA) and the “Beta ear” anticline to the west of the fault. Additionally to the west of the fault is the toe of the Palos Verdes Hills anticlinorium (PVHA) in the north and the underlying basement ridge. The latter is most likely a remnant Miocene bathymetric high at the peak of a tilted crustal block due to Borderland extension and rotation. To the east of the fault is the Wilmington “graben” with the THUMBS –Huntington Beach fault at the northeast edge of the survey and the main Beta oilfield monocline along the restraining segment (c) of the Palos Verdes fault.
