Sespe Formation
The Sespe Formation is a widespread fossiliferous sedimentary geologic unit in southern and south central California in the United States. It is of nonmarine origin, consisting predominantly of sandstones and conglomerates laid down in a riverine, shoreline, and floodplain environment between the upper Eocene Epoch (around 40 million years ago) to the end of the Oligocene Epoch (around 24 million years ago). It is often distinctive in appearance, with its sandstones weathering to reddish-brown, maroon, pinkish-gray, tan, and green. Since many of its sandstones are more resistant to erosion than many other regional sedimentary units it often forms dramatic outcrops and ridgelines in many local mountain ranges.〔Deborah R. Harden.

==Type locality==
The type locality of the Sespe is along Sespe Creek in the Topatopa Mountains, about four miles (6 km) north of Fillmore, where it was first named in 1897 and redefined in 1924.〔Dibblee, 1966, p. 36〕
