Western and Southern Kern County

February 2, 2007

California has virtually every type of rock, landform, and geologic feature known. Many of the significant, fascinating geologic features of California geology exist right here in Kern County. This presentation is the second of a two-part series, and will focus on western and southern parts of the county.

Our Kern County roads and highways showcase many of these geologic features. Among those areas that will be discussed are:

· The San Andreas Fault

· The Temblor Range

· The Sharktooth Hill fossils

· The San Joaquin Valley

· The San Emigdio Range and Frazier Park area

Join local geologist Tim Elam for a photographic tour of Highway 58, Interstate 5, Highway 33, and other roads of Kern County.

See why and how Kern County is the crossroads of California geology.

The presentation will be informal, and no geologic background is necessary to enjoy the event.

There will be no extra fee to attend this event.just the normal Museum admittance fee of $3.00 for adults, and $2.00 for students.
