Cenozoic, from ANS-sixty five Ma to the prevailing In the Great Valley Sequence,
ANS-sedimentary Sierran rocks predominate. These rocks are calcareous and are available
from the ancient arc. Era:
accretion of easternmost terrane in Sierra-Klamath belt - ANS-paleozoic
Era:
ANS-mesozoic accretion of the Sierra-Klamath belt's westernmost terrane Era:
exhumation/exposure of Sierra Nevada batholith - ANS-cenozoic
Era:
formation of Atlantic-kind passive margin - ANS-paleozoic
Era:
intrusion of plutons in the Klamath & Sierra Mtns - ANS-mesozoic
Era:
rodinia rifting, ANS-precambrian Era:
transformation to Japanese-style convergent margin - ANS-paleozoic
