The Great Valley Basin is a large Mesozoic accreted fore-arc basin in central California. This name is commonly given to the Mesozoic Sacramento and Cenozoic San Joaquin Basins where they are grouped together. The term “Great Valley Basin” is probably best used to describe the true fore-arc basin that developed in Jurassic times and was later succeeded in time and space by the northern Sacramento Basin and the southern San Joaquin Basin. The Great Valley section would have suffered Nevadan orogenic deformation, whereas the younger, overlying basins would not have undergone that event. The Great Valley Basin (as used herein) is bordered on the east by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and batholiths, on the south by the confluence of the San Andreas and Garlock fault zones, on the west by a number of fault zones that form the border between the Franciscan metamorphic complex and the Great Valley, and on the north by the Klamath Mountains.
