This paper discusses the distribution of clay minerals and identification of their assemblages in relation to sedimentary facies encountered during DSDP Leg 63 drilling off southern California and Baja California. We also consider how these assemblages are determined by source areas and changes in general paleogeographic environments during different periods of sedimentation.
