		The Point Reyes Peninsula is a geologic anomaly compared to its neighboring inland landscape.
		The most notable geologic difference between the Point Reyes Peninsula and the remainder of the California Coast is the presence of granite rock and the absence of the Franciscan Formation (graywacke, shale, conglomerate and chert) commonly found west of the San Andreas Fault.
		In general, the peninsula's granite rock and the Franciscan Formation that dominates much of the coastal "mainland" is thought to be from the late Jurassic and Cretaceous age.
