      <abstract>This dataset includes raw, high-resolution seismic-reflection data jointly collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Oregon State University in 2010, between Fort Bragg and Point Arena in northern California.</abstract>
      <purpose>These data were collected as part of USGS efforts to better understand the northernmost section of the San Andreas Fault Zone. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Additional information about the field activity from which these data were derived is available online at: 
https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=C110NC
