  ## Geology
  
  Ingram Creek eroded from the following formations; the Franciscan Assemblage, Mesozoic ultrabasic intrusive rocks, and marine sediments of Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene and Eocene age. Marine sediments have been leached by groundwater, causing an elevated concentration of brine in the groundwater at depths of approximately 600 feet.
