Image Caption: Potrero Garcia and Potrero La Mula are breached salt-cored folds
immediately north of the Sierra and Monterey. Individual limestone
layers can be resolved in this beautifully detailed view, as can the
tilt of the layers outward from the center of the fold
(anticline). Most of the salt has been eroded from the core of the
structure, but what remains is now being mined. In Las Grutas de
Garcia (Garcia Caverns) the limestone bedrock has been dissolved and
both limestone and gypsum formations decorate the cave.
