Silver, L.T. and James, E.W. (1988). Lithologic column of the ‘‘Arkoma’’ drillhole and its relation to the Cajon Pass Deep Drillhole. Geophysical Research Letters 15: doi: 10.1029/88GL03275. issn: 0094-8276.

The 1975 m ''Arkoma'' Federal 1--26 well, 48.5 m from the Cajon Pass Deep Drillhole (CPDDH), provides additional lithologic and structural data pertinent to that project. Basement surface was encountered 158 m deeper than in the CPDDH. Rock units correlate well between the holes; the offset persists to 1128 m. Below this depth both lithologic unit thicknesses and fault zones correlate between holes on subhorizontal projections. A combination of previously unrecognized high-angle and low-angle faults of several ages are required to explain the structures. Blind low angle faults may be regionally important. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
