Take a virtual field trip of the geology of Dana Point (sorry about the audio!) or try it out yourself. Here are the stops:
Stop 1: Dana Point Headlands. 24200 Dana Point Harbor Dr, Dana Point, CA 92629. Park at the Ocean Institute ad walk out onto the beach at Dana Cove Park. Look up close at the schist boulders that form the San Onofre Breccia. If you’re feeling adventurous, continue walking around the point at low tide to find the Dana Point caves.
Stop 2: Dana Point Harbor. 34400-34524 Ensenada Pl, Dana Point, CA 92629. Park near Baby Beach and cross the street to check out the fault and turbidites of the Capistrano Formation. There’s an old elevator shaft here from the ruins of the failed 1920s Dana Point Inn www.kcet.org/history-society/...
Stop 3: Marine Terraces. Drive along Golden Lantern from PCH to Stonehill. The steep hill you’re climbing when you cross Selva used to be a sea cliff similar to the cliffs around Dana Point today from a 500,000+ year-old marine terrace. See the terraces in profile from Stop 4.
Stop 4: Capo Beach. 1850 Avenida Estacion, San Clemente, CA 92672. As you drive here, look at the several landslides and erosion controls built into the cliffs along PCH. Walk the San Clemente Pedestrian Beach Trail to San Clemente Pier. Look to the highly eroded cliffs from the weak Capistrano Formation mudstones. Once you’re done, have a day at the beach!

DUDE. This was incredibly interesting. We need a sequel!
And all along I thought a turbidite was an insect! LOL, I learn so much from these!
Great video! I love geology and good old entertainment (AJ's really punny!). Thanks, and keep'em coming!!
I absolutely loved every second of this and didn’t think I was interested in geology
That is the best thing I can hear, I'm stoked you liked it!
I LOVE THIS!! can you please do Malibu Canyon / Léo Carrillo?? I have so many questions 🤪
Great idea! In the meantime here's a little info I could find on Malibu to hold you over: socalgeology.com/2016/01/12/malibu-canyon-county-road-n1/
I grew up there, fishing 24/7 from 8 years old up every niche as the Harbor grew sleeping on Dock H20. A Lovely time..
awesome, more, more, more
Incredible geology teacher!
Thanks James!
I learned the name as "the crappo formation" from my engineering geologist brother. That was the easiest part of the fill in OC map in my college geology course 😂
Very interesting, thank you!
Another educational video ................... thank you ....................237 like
That was really interesting. I am a geologist who grew up and did all my schooling on the east coast and then moved to Dana Point, I love learning new things about California.
Yep super different geology out here, but I bet you saw some great stuff back east. Thanks for watching!
Bro these videos are super lit. Always wondered how things are the way the are in Dana and SoCal.
Thanks man, that means a lot to me!
This is terrific! You are such a good teacher and I love the humor. My big brother has always fished here, and he takes one of my big sisters there on vacation. They love it. I'm sending them this...hope they don't roll their eyeballs at our love of geology.
Thanks Linda - means a lot coming from a geologist! My geology skills are a little rusty these days
@@PoopyArchaeology My older brother liked it!!
Well done ! Lived there in my youth...never figured out why it was so different between the areas. Awesome explanation !
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This was great!!!
Thanks Kyle!
Thanks! That's some great, sharable info about my hometown!
Awesome, glad you liked it!
This is awesome!
Super rad. Super informative.
My man
Great video! I will have to use this in my classroom next year.
Thanks, please do!
Thanks for putting that together, very informative, and interesting! My undergraduate major was Geology (50 years ago!) on the east coast (New Jersey, coastal plains) so the different geology here in Southern California is fascinating. A lot more tectonic movement (Catalina off San Diego anyone?).
Thank you! We certainly have some exciting, if not dangerous, tectonics out here
Transverse Mountains/ northern Channel Islands were off San Diego!
Along with the landmass from Baja came many of the "native" plants of the southern Cali coast. ✌️💚🌲
Great content!
Thank you!
What about all the colorful rocks in the water of Capo Beach, along Beach Road? I saw the comment about the blueschist/green rocks but what about the reds, maroon, yellows, etc? The beach rocks from Santa Monica down through Palos Verdes are so dull but Capo Beach rocks are so vibrant!
Woa woa woa, we barely got to see the Geo assistant doggo!! That’s a very important job haha. But in all seriousness, great summary, this was so fun to watch!! (But I am a geologist, so I might be biased 😊).
Good feedback, Emily - Moo dog will make more appearances. Glad you liked it!
Poopy Archaeology woo!! 😁
AJ you're definitely crushing (not rocks) it. Your content and channel is awesome. I'm stoked and definitely want to collaborate ASAPEEZY! - Ben
Ah yeah dude, thanks!
Does this channel/AJ rock!?!? You Breccia tectonic plate it/he does!....PS I need more geology puns in my life
Brooo thank you! So glad you like the videos and have an apatite for geology puns!
...Breccia
Do you know what the green rocks you can find there are likely to be?
Much of the rock within the breccia is blueschist, which can have a green tint when high in the mineral epidote
I live in dana point
