Folded Rock in the Grapevine Mountains.
The Grapevine Mountains, mapped in detail by Reynolds (1969) and Niemi
(2002), contain thick sequences of Paleozoic rock that was deformed
into large-scale folds and faults during crustal shortening.
Overlying these rocks are less deformed Tertiary sedimentary and
volcanic rock.
