EOCENE OF SAN PEDRO POINT, SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 

 BY BOY E. DICKEBSON 



(Abstract) 



Certain beds which rest upon Montara granite were described by Prof. 

 A. C. Lawson in his "Sketch of the geology of the San Francisco Peninsula." 

 Mr. Gerson, in 1907, obtained some fossils from the uppermost portion of these 

 strata which indicate their Eocene age, probably of the Martinez stage. 



Discussion 



Mr. Lawson called attention to the fact that fossils found some years since 

 at this same locality had been determined by Dr. Stanton and mentioned in 

 his (Lawson's) paper in the Fifteenth Annual Report of the U. S. Geological 

 Survey. He also said that there was probably a fault relation between the 

 San Francisco sandstone and the beds carrying the above fauna.
