Paleontology and geology

Permian rocks in California represent both shallow and deep marine environments inhabited by brachiopods, echinoderms, corals, molluscs, and cartilaginous fish. The shales, sandstone, conglomerates, dolostones, and limestones deposited in these environments are found in Northern California in Shasta and Butte Counties, though not shown on this map.
