Excerpt from Geology of the California Continental Margin: Explanation of the California Continental Margin Geologic Map Series, Interpretive Methods Symbology, Stratigraphic Units, and Bibliography Geology, like many sciences, is continuously evolving, and maps portraying geologic interpretations are thus ephemeral. This map series is no exception. However, it is the first standardized offshore geological map series published in the United States, and it does represent a foundation for detailed marine geological mapping. Many data voids exist, as shown on the maps, and new marine geological and geophysical data are being collected that will gradually improve understanding of the geology. Therefore, we foresee the need to modify the maps in the future and we hope to upgrade the series with periodic reprinting. We propose that new map sheets, such as sedimentary isopachs and sea¿oor resources, be added to the series. We welcome any comment about the maps, and are receptive to construe tive criticism. We hope that you find the maps and the method of oitshore geology portrayal useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
