Did you ever wonder what formed the Elephant Rocks ?  Did you know you could once walk to the Farallones?    How did Tomales Bay itself come to be?  Join Dr Scott Mensing, Geographer and Paleoecologist for a walk through time to look at the formation of Tomales Bay and our coast.  From the origins of the San Andreas fault through the rise and fall of sea level from multiple repeated ice ages and the origin of our Mediterranean climate, mammoth elephants roamed as recent neighbors.
