written yesterday but had trouble with internet for posting..

Looks like the solution to the dilemma of how a core near our 1 million year old horizon was 2 1/2 million years is a miscorrelation along the new seismic reflection profiles. The original correlation by Courtney and I to the sea floor looks good. But, late in a shift I correlated east along new data quickly. It looks like one of the profiles crossed a fault at a narrow angle, so the fault is barely visible/interpretable on ther seismic. Grad students processed more data that crossed along dip (high angle to faults), and "voila", there was a significantly large fault.

Careful interpretation is hard to do on the ship: it requires focus and there is too much going on. It takes a lot of time to process the data and then load it into the interpretation software.

Santa Barbara Figure is out but there is a big triangular bald area on the side of the Santa Ynez Mts.
