  title = {Paleogene accretion of Upper Cretaceous oceanic limestone in northern California},
  abstract = {<p>Blocks of pelagic limestone, tectonically incorporated into coastal terrane melange, contain planktonic foraminifers of early Campanian to middle Maestrichtian age (82-69 Ma) typical of low latitudes between 20{\textdegree}N and 20{\textdegree}S. Carbonate concretions from the sheared terrigenous matrix of the melange yield temperate, middle-latitude planktonic foraminifers and dinoflagellates of middle to late Eocene age (49-41 Ma). The pelagic limestone and the basaltic substrate presumably formed on the eastern flank of the Pacific-Farallon spreading ridge in a low-latitude zone of high productivity and migrated northward on the Farallon plate until about 40 Ma when they initially encountered terrigenous turbidites north of lat. 30{\textdegree}N. Northward translation and final accretion were completed by about 25 Ma.\&nbsp; <a href="https://geoweb.princeton.edu/research/keller/pubs/Sliter-1986-Geology.pdf" target="_blank">PDF</a></p>
