sand above that. so what we have in this scour-and-fill surface is evidence again of fluctuating current activity within the river channel. at the margin of the basin, next to the san gabriel fault, evidence suggests that the fault was active at the time the basin formed. we're looking at coarse-grained sedimentary rocks of the basin margin. you can see that the clasts are large and very angular and that the rocks are very poorly sorted-- that is, it's a mixture of all different grain sizes from sand on up to cobbles. the angularity and the poor sorting indicate that this material has not traveled very far from the source area and was probably shed from the active fault scarp as the basin was down-dropped. sedimentologists have concluded that this fault activity could itself have created the ridge basin. owing to a bend in the san gabriel fault, movement would have stretched the crust in the area of the basin, causing it to sag downward. through careful field work combining the study of sedimentary ro
