Like red clay like they have in Georgia?

Yes the image in my last post illustrates that fault and others in south LA. So many people think it's crazy to have faulting down here since we associate them with major rifts or active areas like the San Andreas but it's one of the main tools geologists use when prospecting for oil reserves in the gulf so it's not a new concept.
If you drive north along college drive just north of the interstate, the brief but steep uphill jog you take is a good example of the BR fault scarp.

I've heard it was the prevailing winds over a long period of time blowing dust/dirt in the atmosphere from the Great Plains in the west. As the dust crossed over the river, the moisture caused it to drop out on the east side creating the hills.
winner, winner, chicken dinner!
thats called "loess" material as opposed to "aluvium"

Really? I thought the fault is where the old Woodlawn high school is?
