Abstract: Santa Catalina Island (SCI) sits offshore of Palos Verdes Peninsula (PVP) within the Southern California Continental Borderland (SCCB). Paleomagnetic data suggests that SCI and PVP rotated approximately 90° clockwise since the early Miocene during the same tectonic episode that rotated and translated the Western Transverse Range into its present-day location. A more recent paleomagnetic study on PVP, indicated little to no rotation. PVP and SCI share similar geology, so an updated paleomagnetic study on SCI was needed to address the possibility of a similar discrepancy.
