Roadcut exposure of the Paleocene Santa Susana Formation on Fire Road 30 just north of Hub Junction. The Santa Susana Formation is mostly brown, marine mudstone that was deposited below wavebase in an offshore shelf environment. Other parts of the formation, like those seen on GeoTrek IV-A, consist of sandstone containing shallow-water fossils that were deposited closer to the beach.
