Abstract
The gravity anomalies produced by the three Kettleman Hills Domes are maxima. The Lost Hills Anticline produces a gravity minimum. Four maps showing gravity contours, subsurface contours and sections accompany this paper. Maps from a gravity survey over the Kettleman Hills‐Lost Hills Area are compared with previously published subsurface contours and cross sections. These show that the three Kettleman Hills Domes each produce a strong and definite gravity high while the Lost Hills Anticline produces a very clear and closely corresponding gravity low. The paper points out the probable cause of this unusual feature as being a transition within the Reef Ridge Formation from punky, diatomaceous shale at Lost Hills to clays and sands at Kettleman Hills.
