Apatite helium thermochronometry provides new constraints on the tectonic history of a recently uplifted crystalline mass adjacent to the San Andreas fault. By documenting aspects of the low-temperature (40°–100°C) thermal history of the tectonic blocks of the San Bernardino Mountains in southern Ca...
