Figure 8(a-b). Close-ups of 300 ms of 2D data from (a) line 80a, above, and (b) 81, below, have been annotated to show approximate location of the Quaternary wedge of sediments overlying the Palos Verdes Hills and San Pedro Bay anticlinoria (unconformity in green), the Palos Verdes fault zone (PVF), and the Wilmington “graben.” The narrow tilted wedge of Quaternary strata lying to the southwest of the fault is generally too shallow to be effectively imaged with the 3D data; note line 80a roughly corresponds to cross-section D-D’ (Figure 6d). This growth wedge and the monocline to the east of the fault appear variable along strike and may be due to uplift created as sediments have been recently translated into the restraining bend.
