Geology - hydrothermal quartz-gold veins of the Mother Lode Gold Belt occur in the Melones Fault Zone (= boundary between the Foothills Terrane and the Don Pedro Terrane). To the east of the fault zone is Jurassic slates. To the west of the fault zone is serpentinite melange. Age - The Melones Fault Zone was active principally in the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous.
