Information
has glosseng: The Serra Fault is the northernmost fault in a zone of northwest-striking range front thrust faults adjacent to and northeast of the San Francisco Peninsula segment of the San Andreas Fault (Kennedy, 2005). The Serra Fault is positioned approximately 1.5 to three kilometers northeast of the San Andreas Fault ; moreover the Serra Fault extends for more than 20 kilometres from the town of Hillsborough to a point near Daly City. According to Kennedy: "Three angular unconformities within the Merced and overlying Colma Formations have formed on the steeply dipping fold forelimb". Mid to later Holocene fluvial channel deposits inset into the Merced Formation along the forelimb of the fold seem to be deformed, illustrating that the folding is active.
