Shipping list no.: 2004-0177-P. "A preliminary palinspastic reconstruction is presented of the region of the Los Angeles Basin at its 17.4 Ma inception. To create this reconstruction, pertinent paleomagnetic declination data are combined with new maps of the areal extent, thickness variations, and depositional facies of the >17.4 Ma Sespe-Vaqueros Formations and their equivalents."
