During a field trip stop between Cave Spring and Denning Spring, north of Fort Irwin, this group from the 1998 Desert Research Symposium has a discussion of east-west trending fault zones in the western Awawatz Mountains. The left-lateral Garlock fault zone is mapped along the base of the hills in the foreground. Telescope Peak in the Panamint Mountains can be seen in the distance. Southern Death Valley is in the right middle-ground. |
