Geoff;
I am NOT the one to answer this....I have never been in that locality.
Looking at the USGS (geolgoic) map for that part of California, that
area is described as a "trough" and most of the area is listed as
Cenozoic nonmarine sediments. I would suspect salt deposits. But looking
a little closer there are remnants of several faults in the area;
namely, Imperial and Salton. And there is a reference to a few small
pre-Cenozoic metamorphic rock intrusions along the faults. This area was
the feature of a talk at Menlo Park (podcast) within the last year.
