The ``Diablo Grande'' soils are residual soils formed from sedimentary deposits of sandstone and calcareous sandstone while most of the surrounding soils are from alluvial deposits of mixed rock parent material having lower slopes and elevations.

The Diablo Range is primarily a range of folding and is essentially anticlinal in its structure.
However, the Diablo Range is- not in its general nature a single great anticline with axis practically coincident with the range line.
By reference to the map (plate 27) the general nature of the structure in the vicinity of the benitoite locality can be recognized by its influence on the topography.

Coalinga is a former mining town about 28 miles northeast of Parkfield in a pocket of Fresno County, on the west end of the San Joaquin Valley and east slope of the Diablo Range, a sister Coast Mountains range to the north of the Temblor.
Like the Temblor Range, the Diablo is also made up of wild, rolling hills, a bizarre effect of surface deformation caused by millions of years of movement along the nearby San Andreas Fault, where the Pacific Plate is slowly grinding northwest at the rate of a centimeter or two a year.
Like the Temblor Range, the Diablo - Spanish for “devil” - has an ominous, at times otherworldly appearance, and on May 2, 1983, Coalinga was jarred by a destructive magnitude 6.5 shock which came completely out of the blue.

Portions of the Diablo Range are thought to have been surrounded by marine embayments since the middle Miocene era, when modern flora and fauna were developing (Sharsmith 1982).
