Abstract:
Because of the conspicuous failure of workers in the California Tertiary to agree upon the deductions to be drawn as to the physiographic conditions that probably accompanied the deposition of the Miocene siliceous shale, it has seemed worth while to assemble the available physical and biological data that appear to have a bearing on the problem. The paper is practically an abstract of these data. The indications with reference to temperature and depth of water are not entirely consistent, perhaps because both conditions varied at different times. To the hypothesis of a Miocene desert, however, the data clearly agree in bringing no support. Peneplaned land areas, rather than rainless deserts, are considered to be the probable cause of the scarcity of clastic material in t e Monterey shale and similar formations.
