They aren't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are surprisingly similar at a genetic level. For example, any two people from anywhere on Earth are more similar than two chimps from the \u003cem>same\u003c/em> troop. Why are we all so alike?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One possible explanation is that something in our collective past nearly wiped us all out. And we all come from the few survivors who were left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A likely candidate for this near annihilation event is the \u003ca href=\"http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/southeast_asia/indonesia/toba.html\">Toba volcanic eruption\u003c/a> that happened in Indonesia 75,000 or so years ago. This eruption was huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was equivalent to around 1 billion tons of dynamite and was about 3000 times more powerful than the Mount Saint Helens eruption in 1980. It also may have reduced the average global temperature by 5 degrees Celsius, darkened the world for 5 or 6 years, and plunged the world into a new Ice Age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you might imagine, this eruption had dramatic effects on species around the world including our own. Estimates of how many people were left range from around 1000-10,000 breeding pairs. The theory is that we are all so alike because we share these survivors' DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether true or not, a bottleneck in our past would not make us unique. Lots of species go through these near death experiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists think cheetahs went through one around 10,000 years ago. Cheetahs are all so similar genetically that veterinarians can do skin grafts with \"unrelated\" cheetahs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, people have created bottlenecks in species too. For example, in the late 1890's there may have only been 20-100 elephant seals left in the world because of hunting. Now there are at least 150,000 spread across the west coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=113\">Species are in danger\u003c/a> long after they go through a bottleneck. They have a pretty limited gene pool which means they may not be particularly healthy and are in danger of being wiped out by, for example, a single disease. Humans are probably OK in this regard (consider \u003ca href=\"http://www.thetech.org/genetics/news.php?id=13\">natural resistance to HIV\u003c/a> for example) but elephant seals, bison, and cheetahs, and many other species may not be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately for us we successfully came through our bottleneck.

This eruption was huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was equivalent to around 1 billion tons of dynamite and was about 3000 times more powerful than the Mount Saint Helens eruption in 1980. It also may have reduced the average global temperature by 5 degrees Celsius, darkened the world for 5 or 6 years, and plunged the world into a new Ice Age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you might imagine, this eruption had dramatic effects on species around the world including our own. Estimates of how many people were left range from around 1000-10,000 breeding pairs. The theory is that we are all so alike because we share these survivors' DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether true or not, a bottleneck in our past would not make us unique.

Cheetahs are all so similar genetically that veterinarians can do skin grafts with \"unrelated\" cheetahs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, people have created bottlenecks in species too. For example, in the late 1890's there may have only been 20-100 elephant seals left in the world because of hunting.

Humans are probably OK in this regard (consider \u003ca href=\"http://www.thetech.org/genetics/news.php?id=13\">natural resistance to HIV\u003c/a> for example) but elephant seals, bison, and cheetahs, and many other species may not be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately for us we successfully came through our bottleneck.

Alum Rock got its name from a powder that coats some of the rocks in the park, which early visitors to the area mistakenly thought was alum. That powder is, in fact, made of sulfur, gypsum, and other substances, and it’s a hint to the area’s volcanic history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other clues to Alum Rock’s geologic activity abound, some more obvious than others. Perhaps most notable are the springs you’re likely to spot shortly after you come in. Bubbling up from underground, the water is warmed by heat that still remains in the earth from the volcanoes that were once active here. Stop at any of the small shelters that house \"faucets\" of these springs, and you’ll get a whiff of the sulfur and other aromatic minerals that have dissolved into the hot water as it flows up from the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hike around the grounds and you'll encounter some of the other, more subtle evidence of the park's busy geology, as well as take in its bountiful wildlife offerings. Central to the hiking trails is a canyon, which hosts a creek (some of it in the form of those bubbling mineral springs) running through it. Granite and sandstone boulders populate the canyon, having been washed down from the hilltops above, evidence of powerful storm activity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like so many twisted landscapes in northern California, the rock layers in these hillsides are chronologically upside-down, with the youngest swaths at the bottom, the oldest on the top. That’s the result of the steady crunching of tectonic plates over millions of years, folding the earth's crust over on itself. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>One Canyon, many Climates\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/leafy.jpg\">\u003c/span>Leafy trees, soft mosses, and other water-loving plants populate the riparian area next to the creek. The resulting topography and the mineral springs of Alum Rock lend the park a variety of niches and microenvironments. Spend a day exploring, and you'll see that the canyon sides boast different habitats, owing to the different climates of their north- and south-facing slopes. Forests with oak, sycamore, and other large trees populate the damper, shadier north-facing sides. Deeper in the canyon, the trees are joined by ferns and horsetails, which soak up the moisture of the creek. On the drier south-facing slopes, low bushes, shrubs, and grasses make a scrubby chaparral. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These numerous environments provide inviting homes for a huge array of critters, from the small and squiggly to the large and furry. The relatively unpolluted stream teems with insects that often become the subjects of study (and squeamishness) for students at the nearby \u003ca href=\"http://www.ysi-ca.org/\">Youth Science Institute\u003c/a>. Even the algae growing on rocks among the springs are enticing, sporting a rainbow of colors that reflect the minerals in their watery habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The park's bird populations, which change with the seasons, also make it popular with the binocular set. Golden eagles and red-shouldered hawks are spotted regularly, along with hundreds of other species. And it's not unusual to see a deer or even a bobcat wander by the trail: the park's large acreage and moderate number of visitors mean that wildlife rules here. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Nature Springs Anew\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/alum_baths.jpg\">\u003c/span>During the park's past life as a spa, bathers would settle into soaking pools like this one, hoping to gain some medicinal benefit from the spring's mineral waters. The ambiance of the park as a nature reserve is actually a somewhat recent development. Alum Rock, known until a century ago as \"the reservation,\" has thrived as a popular outdoor playground since the early 1800s, even while ownership of the land comprising it shifted from Spain to Mexico to the U.S. With its many mineral springs, Alum Rock became a fashionable spa of sorts, eventually hosting a huge indoor swimming pool, private baths, concessions, a bandstand, and a restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the mid-1800s until just decades ago, people flocked to Alum Rock from around the country to soak in the park’s warm mineral waters, which many claimed had medicinal benefits. Some Sundays, as many as 10,000 visitors were swarm Alum Rock’s hillsides and hot pools. The park had so many visitors that, by the early 70s, the native plants and animals were nearly overrun. In response, San Jose decided to return Alum Rock back to its more natural state. The city demolished the pool, removed many of the buildings, and closed some areas of the park. As a result, natural habitats in the park have flourished with the return of many species of birds, insects, and other wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As John Harshman, a teacher at the Youth Science Institute described it, \"Nature is about as undisturbed here as it can be in the middle of an urban area.\" Natural phenomena continue to exert forces of change on Alum Rock's landscape. The park’s original entrance was closed in 2000 due to a storm-induced landslide. And in October 2007, nearby residents were shaken by an earthquake centered just five miles from Alum Rock. As a result, one of its previously idle springs flowed back to life-- perhaps a reminder that nature can return to a place even when the potential for it seems to have dried up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nnvesj.org/Archives/ARPHistory.htm\">Alum Rock Park History, by Judy Thompson\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum_Rock_Park\">Wikipedia: Alum Rock Park\u003c/a> served as sources for this article.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Events in Briones Regional Park\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Regional Park District offers a number of activities in Briones Regional Park and many other nearby parks. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Learn More About Wildlife\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you're interested in learning more about the wildlife of the East Bay, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/tilden/tna\" target=\"_blank\">Tilden Nature Area\u003c/a> Programs offers many options in Berkeley's Tilden Regional Park.

Alum Rock got its name from a powder that coats some of the rocks in the park, which early visitors to the area mistakenly thought was alum. That powder is, in fact, made of sulfur, gypsum, and other substances, and it’s a hint to the area’s volcanic history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other clues to Alum Rock’s geologic activity abound, some more obvious than others. Perhaps most notable are the springs you’re likely to spot shortly after you come in. Bubbling up from underground, the water is warmed by heat that still remains in the earth from the volcanoes that were once active here. Stop at any of the small shelters that house \"faucets\" of these springs, and you’ll get a whiff of the sulfur and other aromatic minerals that have dissolved into the hot water as it flows up from the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hike around the grounds and you'll encounter some of the other, more subtle evidence of the park's busy geology, as well as take in its bountiful wildlife offerings. Central to the hiking trails is a canyon, which hosts a creek (some of it in the form of those bubbling mineral springs) running through it. Granite and sandstone boulders populate the canyon, having been washed down from the hilltops above, evidence of powerful storm activity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like so many twisted landscapes in northern California, the rock layers in these hillsides are chronologically upside-down, with the youngest swaths at the bottom, the oldest on the top. That’s the result of the steady crunching of tectonic plates over millions of years, folding the earth's crust over on itself. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>One Canyon, many Climates\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/leafy.jpg\">\u003c/span>Leafy trees, soft mosses, and other water-loving plants populate the riparian area next to the creek. The resulting topography and the mineral springs of Alum Rock lend the park a variety of niches and microenvironments. Spend a day exploring, and you'll see that the canyon sides boast different habitats, owing to the different climates of their north- and south-facing slopes. Forests with oak, sycamore, and other large trees populate the damper, shadier north-facing sides. Deeper in the canyon, the trees are joined by ferns and horsetails, which soak up the moisture of the creek. On the drier south-facing slopes, low bushes, shrubs, and grasses make a scrubby chaparral. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These numerous environments provide inviting homes for a huge array of critters, from the small and squiggly to the large and furry. The relatively unpolluted stream teems with insects that often become the subjects of study (and squeamishness) for students at the nearby \u003ca href=\"http://www.ysi-ca.org/\">Youth Science Institute\u003c/a>. Even the algae growing on rocks among the springs are enticing, sporting a rainbow of colors that reflect the minerals in their watery habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The park's bird populations, which change with the seasons, also make it popular with the binocular set. Golden eagles and red-shouldered hawks are spotted regularly, along with hundreds of other species. And it's not unusual to see a deer or even a bobcat wander by the trail: the park's large acreage and moderate number of visitors mean that wildlife rules here. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Nature Springs Anew\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/imp/alum_baths.jpg\">\u003c/span>During the park's past life as a spa, bathers would settle into soaking pools like this one, hoping to gain some medicinal benefit from the spring's mineral waters. The ambiance of the park as a nature reserve is actually a somewhat recent development. Alum Rock, known until a century ago as \"the reservation,\" has thrived as a popular outdoor playground since the early 1800s, even while ownership of the land comprising it shifted from Spain to Mexico to the U.S. With its many mineral springs, Alum Rock became a fashionable spa of sorts, eventually hosting a huge indoor swimming pool, private baths, concessions, a bandstand, and a restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the mid-1800s until just decades ago, people flocked to Alum Rock from around the country to soak in the park’s warm mineral waters, which many claimed had medicinal benefits. Some Sundays, as many as 10,000 visitors were swarm Alum Rock’s hillsides and hot pools. The park had so many visitors that, by the early 70s, the native plants and animals were nearly overrun. In response, San Jose decided to return Alum Rock back to its more natural state. The city demolished the pool, removed many of the buildings, and closed some areas of the park. As a result, natural habitats in the park have flourished with the return of many species of birds, insects, and other wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As John Harshman, a teacher at the Youth Science Institute described it, \"Nature is about as undisturbed here as it can be in the middle of an urban area.\" Natural phenomena continue to exert forces of change on Alum Rock's landscape. The park’s original entrance was closed in 2000 due to a storm-induced landslide. And in October 2007, nearby residents were shaken by an earthquake centered just five miles from Alum Rock. As a result, one of its previously idle springs flowed back to life-- perhaps a reminder that nature can return to a place even when the potential for it seems to have dried up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nnvesj.org/Archives/ARPHistory.htm\">Alum Rock Park History, by Judy Thompson\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum_Rock_Park\">Wikipedia: Alum Rock Park\u003c/a> served as sources for this article.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Events in Briones Regional Park\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Regional Park District offers a number of activities in Briones Regional Park and many other nearby parks. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Learn More About Wildlife\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you're interested in learning more about the wildlife of the East Bay, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/tilden/tna\" target=\"_blank\">Tilden Nature Area\u003c/a> Programs offers many options in Berkeley's Tilden Regional Park.

Summer days are sometimes hazy, and the best viewing is often on the day after a winter storm. Then, you can look to the west, beyond the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Farallon Islands; southeast to the James Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton at 4,213 feet elevation; south to Mount Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mountains at 3,791 feet elevation, north to Mount Saint Helena in the Coast Range at 4,344 feet elevation, and still farther north to Mount Lassen in the Cascades at 10,466 feet. North and east of Mount Diablo the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers converge to form the twisting waterways of the Delta. To the east beyond Califomia's great central valley, the crest of the Sierra Nevada seems to float in space.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Location-Directions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The park may be accessed by vehicle from either the Danville area (Mount Diablo Scenic Boulevard) or the Walnut Creek area (North Gate Road).

Diablo: an upside-down trek through time\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1278865000/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1219/1278865000_d74b6db0a8_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"11b. Untouched landscape\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Mt. Diablo can be an intimidating place for a geologist. It's an almost inexplicable scrunch of mixed up, twisted rock layers piled on each other in what looks to be backward chronological order. Combine that with the fact that a hike on Mt. Diablo could involve encounters with rattlesnakes, tarantulas, and other unpleasant critters, and it's easy to see why many rock studiers once left this mysterious mountain to the biologists. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists visiting Mt. Diablo in the 1800s found not only abundant plant and animal life, they also discovered evidence of the region's rich biological past. Fossils lodged in rocks gave away the area's past lives as an ocean floor and a stream-filled flatland. When the science of plate tectonics-- the notion that the earth's crust is composed of many large, mobile plates whose movements cause earthquakes, mountains, and other geological phenomena-- came into acceptance in the 1970s, it brought ways to explain the presence and order of the mountain's confusing rock layers. Soon geologists and paleontologists joined the biologists, developing a picture of whats taken place in Mt. Diablo's neighborhood over the last 200 million years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looming over the landscape near Walnut Creek, Mt. Diablo is a paradox: it has some of the oldest rocks in the Bay Area, yet it's one of the region's youngest geological features, having risen at most only about 2 million years ago (by mountain standards, that makes it a real whipper-snapper). And even though it looks for all the world like a volcano, it isn't one. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The ground's all turned around\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you were to clean out an old trunk that you'd been steadily tossing things into for years, you'd probably notice a pattern: the items at the bottom of the trunk would be the oldest ones, left there years before the things sitting at the top. The same is true for layers of rock... usually. Mt. Diablo is just the opposite: the oldest rock is found at the summit of the mountain, and the newest rock at the bottom. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How can this be? Geologists are still stumped about some aspects of the mountain's formation. What they believe is that Diablo was once a slab of ocean floor that was pushed up and folded by the forces of plates moving past each other. This folding drove the oldest tiers toward the top. If you could cut Mt. Diablo in half and look at these layers from the side, it would resemble a sandwich standing on end. The oldest rocks would be the filling, flanked by a younger layer of rock on each side, flanked again on each side by an even younger layer, and so on. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Layered stories of times past\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Mt. Diablo's many rock layers offer clues to conditions in the area over the last 200 million years. A complete tour of the mountain's history would fill a hefty tome, but here are a few highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>190 – 90 million years ago: An ancient ocean floor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1277970035/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1173/1277970035_95d9b09db0_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"1b. Radiolarian chert layers\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>The park's oldest rocks, dating between 190 to 90 million years ago, make up the mountain's summit. A collection called the Franciscan Complex, they are evidence of a collision between plates on the ocean floor. In such an area, known as a subduction zone, one plate slides under another. Greenstone found on Mt. Diablo was scraped from the top of the submerging plate as it dove under its neighbor. Another Franciscan rock, chert, is made of the fossil skeletons of tiny sea creatures whose bodies formed thick layers on the ocean floor. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>50 million years ago: A prehistoric sea basin filling with sediment\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1278958654/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1374/1278958654_700852cb89_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"10b. Turritella Snail Bed, close up\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Over time, plate movements in the Mt. Diablo region created a shallow basin that filled with water to make an inland sea, producing shorelines and swampy backwaters. In the warming global climate, sub-tropical plants and animals thrived. The fossils of some sea creatures are easy to find along trails in the park, preserved in rocks formed by sediments piling into the ancient sea. The bodies of others collected in the swamps as peat, which compressed over time into a low-grade coal that was mined and shipped to San Francisco in the later half of the 1800s.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>20-10 million years ago: The ground shifts, the sea recedes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1278051243/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1149/1278051243_9d7e9dab46_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"13a. Fossil scallop on the grill\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>During this time, the movement of the plates around Mt. Diablo shifted. Rather than one diving under the other, they began to move against each other horizontally. Even today this is still the direction of movement in the region, and is what gives rise to earthquakes along the San Andreas and other nearby faults. This new direction of movement made changes to the landscape that caused the water to drain from the inland sea, leaving behind a coastal plain. Sea creatures trapped in mud at this time were destined to become fossils, and you can spot the occasional scallop or oyster from this period in the stones used to build campsite stoves in Mt. Diablo State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>7-10 million years ago: Mammals rule the flatlands\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The sea came and went once more, leaving the area dry one last time. Rivers then flowed through the sea-less basin, making it inviting for a wide variety of land mammals, large and small. Stream deposits on the land that became the mountain's south side gave rise to one of the richest fossil beds in the United States (second only to the LaBrea Tar Pits in southern California).

Summer days are sometimes hazy, and the best viewing is often on the day after a winter storm. Then, you can look to the west, beyond the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Farallon Islands; southeast to the James Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton at 4,213 feet elevation; south to Mount Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mountains at 3,791 feet elevation, north to Mount Saint Helena in the Coast Range at 4,344 feet elevation, and still farther north to Mount Lassen in the Cascades at 10,466 feet. North and east of Mount Diablo the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers converge to form the twisting waterways of the Delta. To the east beyond Califomia's great central valley, the crest of the Sierra Nevada seems to float in space.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Location-Directions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The park may be accessed by vehicle from either the Danville area (Mount Diablo Scenic Boulevard) or the Walnut Creek area (North Gate Road).

Diablo: an upside-down trek through time\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1278865000/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1219/1278865000_d74b6db0a8_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"11b. Untouched landscape\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Mt. Diablo can be an intimidating place for a geologist. It's an almost inexplicable scrunch of mixed up, twisted rock layers piled on each other in what looks to be backward chronological order. Combine that with the fact that a hike on Mt. Diablo could involve encounters with rattlesnakes, tarantulas, and other unpleasant critters, and it's easy to see why many rock studiers once left this mysterious mountain to the biologists. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists visiting Mt. Diablo in the 1800s found not only abundant plant and animal life, they also discovered evidence of the region's rich biological past. Fossils lodged in rocks gave away the area's past lives as an ocean floor and a stream-filled flatland. When the science of plate tectonics-- the notion that the earth's crust is composed of many large, mobile plates whose movements cause earthquakes, mountains, and other geological phenomena-- came into acceptance in the 1970s, it brought ways to explain the presence and order of the mountain's confusing rock layers. Soon geologists and paleontologists joined the biologists, developing a picture of whats taken place in Mt. Diablo's neighborhood over the last 200 million years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looming over the landscape near Walnut Creek, Mt. Diablo is a paradox: it has some of the oldest rocks in the Bay Area, yet it's one of the region's youngest geological features, having risen at most only about 2 million years ago (by mountain standards, that makes it a real whipper-snapper). And even though it looks for all the world like a volcano, it isn't one. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The ground's all turned around\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you were to clean out an old trunk that you'd been steadily tossing things into for years, you'd probably notice a pattern: the items at the bottom of the trunk would be the oldest ones, left there years before the things sitting at the top. The same is true for layers of rock... usually. Mt. Diablo is just the opposite: the oldest rock is found at the summit of the mountain, and the newest rock at the bottom. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How can this be? Geologists are still stumped about some aspects of the mountain's formation. What they believe is that Diablo was once a slab of ocean floor that was pushed up and folded by the forces of plates moving past each other. This folding drove the oldest tiers toward the top. If you could cut Mt. Diablo in half and look at these layers from the side, it would resemble a sandwich standing on end. The oldest rocks would be the filling, flanked by a younger layer of rock on each side, flanked again on each side by an even younger layer, and so on. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Layered stories of times past\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Mt. Diablo's many rock layers offer clues to conditions in the area over the last 200 million years. A complete tour of the mountain's history would fill a hefty tome, but here are a few highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>190 – 90 million years ago: An ancient ocean floor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1277970035/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1173/1277970035_95d9b09db0_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"1b. Radiolarian chert layers\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>The park's oldest rocks, dating between 190 to 90 million years ago, make up the mountain's summit. A collection called the Franciscan Complex, they are evidence of a collision between plates on the ocean floor. In such an area, known as a subduction zone, one plate slides under another. Greenstone found on Mt. Diablo was scraped from the top of the submerging plate as it dove under its neighbor. Another Franciscan rock, chert, is made of the fossil skeletons of tiny sea creatures whose bodies formed thick layers on the ocean floor. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>50 million years ago: A prehistoric sea basin filling with sediment\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1278958654/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1374/1278958654_700852cb89_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"10b. Turritella Snail Bed, close up\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Over time, plate movements in the Mt. Diablo region created a shallow basin that filled with water to make an inland sea, producing shorelines and swampy backwaters. In the warming global climate, sub-tropical plants and animals thrived. The fossils of some sea creatures are easy to find along trails in the park, preserved in rocks formed by sediments piling into the ancient sea. The bodies of others collected in the swamps as peat, which compressed over time into a low-grade coal that was mined and shipped to San Francisco in the later half of the 1800s.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>20-10 million years ago: The ground shifts, the sea recedes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/1278051243/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1149/1278051243_9d7e9dab46_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"135\" alt=\"13a. Fossil scallop on the grill\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>During this time, the movement of the plates around Mt. Diablo shifted. Rather than one diving under the other, they began to move against each other horizontally. Even today this is still the direction of movement in the region, and is what gives rise to earthquakes along the San Andreas and other nearby faults. This new direction of movement made changes to the landscape that caused the water to drain from the inland sea, leaving behind a coastal plain. Sea creatures trapped in mud at this time were destined to become fossils, and you can spot the occasional scallop or oyster from this period in the stones used to build campsite stoves in Mt. Diablo State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>7-10 million years ago: Mammals rule the flatlands\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The sea came and went once more, leaving the area dry one last time. Rivers then flowed through the sea-less basin, making it inviting for a wide variety of land mammals, large and small. Stream deposits on the land that became the mountain's south side gave rise to one of the richest fossil beds in the United States (second only to the LaBrea Tar Pits in southern California). Paleontologists working at Mt. Dialblo have unearthed fossils of horses, rhinos, camels, and even a mastodon skull, among many other finds.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2 million years ago: At last, the landscape rises\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The earth that makes up Mt.

Instead, it was a valley dotted with grazing antelope. Hills jutted up here and there (destined to become the Bay's islands). The Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers of the Central Valley joined forces in the vast marshy Delta, flowed west through a 300-foot deep gorge in the Coast Range (now the Golden Gate), and across a broad coastal plain to the ocean. California's coastline was out past the Farallon Islands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the end of the ice age and the melting of the great ice sheets, the oceans began rising.
