Title: Petrology of Whittier Conglomerates, Southern California

Author(s): George J. Bellemin (2)

Abstract:

The western part of the Puente Hills of Los Angeles County, California, consists of a series of Miocene and Pliocene shales with interbedded conglomerate and sandstone lenses. This paper presents the result of a petrologic study of the conglomerates. The prominent and important rocks are described in detail, and an effort is made to correlate these rocks with bed-rock types. The implications of these findings, such as the possible source area of the conglomerates and their paleogeographic significance, are briefly discussed.
