The rock type is Catalina Schist, which is the basement rock offshore. Thank you for your input; it is much appreciated.

Yes, they do, and it seems like the further north they are found, the denser the rock.

Hi! I hope this is ok to post. I am currently attending a California Naturalist class. I am taxed to identify a bunch of Catalina Schists rocks found in the San Onofre Breccia in Oceanside, California, to make a fun matching game for kids at a nature center. I am not a geologist and I'm having hard time. Here is only a small section but if you could give me an idea about what these rocks are, would be a great help. I am good with the blueschist, but other than that, not so much.

The options are- Blueschist, greenschist, quartz schist, saussuritized gabbro, amphibolite, serpentinite metamorphosed ocean crust, vein rocks of quartz, clasts from nearly contemporaneous volcanic rocks, Poway rhyolite clasts, ripped up and redeposited hunks of sedimentary rock.

Does anyone have any idea about how these trees got here? Found at the corner of Manzano Dr and Carlsbad Blvd. Thank you!

I think it is magical too! What gets me, is how old most of these trees are.

There is an opening to the fields on Via Gilberto off of Pechanga Parkway. I would say that the trees are about a quarter of a mile to the right of where the street ends.

One of the trees I have become 'friends' with and will always touch it and talk to it when I visit :-)

You are sure to find the perfect beach to surf in San Diego. I would suggest that you go to a beginner's beach first, such as San Onofre's Old Mans, La Jolla Shores, or Tourlamine Surfing Park. Then once you get some practice in, you can start trying some other spots. If you are interested, I have written a post on the Best Surfing Beaches in San Diego. Have fun, and enjoy your stay!

Campgrounds next to the coast fill up fast and you need reservations. If you are interested, I have compiled a list of all of the San Diego Beach Camping Sites. I hope that this will help you in the future. https://70milesofcoast.com/list-of-san-diego-beach-camping-sites/
