| This was the thesis subject for my graduate work at SDSU. |

WHERE it is:
Approximately within the yellow rectangle |
|
WHAT it is:
A densely intruded, northwest-striking, predominantly silicic regional dike swarm exposed over an approximately 100 km-long segment in the west-central portion of the Cretaceous Peninsular Ranges batholith (PRB). Cross-cutting field relationships and a preliminary U-Pb zircon age of 120±1 Ma clearly establish the swarm as an integral feature in the magmatic evolution of the PRB. |
| For more detailed information, here's a National Science Foundation proposal that Dave Kimbrough submitted. |
 Here's one of the dikes in a roadcut near Ejido San Marcos. Click on the picture below left for a closeup.

 I presented a poster session to present the on-going research of this dike swarm to the Geological Society of America Cordilleran Section Centennial meeting in Berkeley in June of 1999.

Here's a webified PowerPoint presentation I created for our SDSU Geotectonics class in Spring 2000. The presentation was meant to be a snapshot of my research at that time, and direction of future studies. |
|
Here's another webified PowerPoint presentation generated from my Master's thesis defense on 9 May 03. |
|
And finally (TA-DA !!!) here's the real virtual thesis, approved on 30 July 2004! |
