Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: physical data holdings Five DSRV Alvin dives were made on fault and fault-line scarps associated with the Rose Canyon-Newport-Inglewood, Coronado Bank-Palos Verdes Hills, and San Clemente Fault zones, to investigate the character and recency of faulting of a tectonically active portion of the Southern California Continental Margin. A total of 36 outcrop and 14 sediemnt core samples were collected during the five dives. An effort was made to collect these samples in orderly stratigraphic succession.
