      <abstract>An exposure of a creeping segment of the Bartlett Springs Fault (BSF), part of the San Andreas system in northern California, is a ~1.5 m-wide zone of serpentinite-bearing fault gouge cutting through late Pleistocene fluvial deposits.  The fault gouge consists of porphyroclasts of antigorite serpentinite, talc, chlorite, and tremolite-actinolite, along with some Franciscan metamorphic rocks, in a matrix of the same materials.  The Mg-mineral assemblage is stable at temperatures above 250°-300°C.  The BSF gouge is interpreted to have been tectonically incorporated into the fault from depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, and to have risen buoyantly to the surface where it is now undergoing right-lateral displacement.  The ultramafic-rich composition, frictional properties, and inferred mode of emplacement of the BSF serpentinitic gouge correspond to those of the creeping traces of the San Andreas Fault identified in the SAFOD (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) drillhole.  This suggests a common origin for creep at both locations.  A tectonic model for the source of the ultramafic-rich materials in the BSF is proposed that potentially could explain the distribution of creep throughout the northernmost San Andreas system.</abstract>
      <purpose>Compositions of the minerals that comprise serpentinite-rich fault gouge within the Bartlett Springs Fault near Lake Pillsbury, California were obtained to determine the depth at which the gouge formed.  Serpentine-mineral compositions from outcrops of Coast Range ophiolite in the same area were obtained for comparison to compositions of serpentine in the fault gouge.</purpose>

      <attraccr>The electron microprobe software applied a ZAF correction to the collected data.  Reference standards were used to calibrate the instrument for quantitative analyses.  The mineral standard set consists of feldspars (Si, Al, Ca, Na, K), natural olivines (Mg, Fe, Ni), chromite (Cr), and the oxides Mn2O3 (Mn) and TiO2 (Ti).  A set of mineral standards was also tested at intervals during the runs, to check for drift in sample current.  Precision of the microprobe data generally is ±1% for major and minor elements.</attraccr>
    </attracc>
    <logic>The values fall within the expected ranges for the minerals that were analyzed.  Data points that were not consistent with the the mineral being analyzed were removed from the data set.  Data were removed because of low (anhydrous) oxide totals, obvious contamination, or unreasonable calculated structural formulae.</logic>
    <complete>Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.</complete>

    <distliab>The spinel compositions in Table S1 are presented in Figure 5 of Moore et al. (2018). The mineral compositions in Table S2 (serpentine, talc, chlorite, and tremolite-actinolite) are used top define the compositional ranges for those minerals in Figures 8 and 10 of Moore et al. (2018).  The serpentine mineral compositions are described, and some oxides listed, in the section on Coast Range ophiolite rocks (section 4) of Moore et al. (2018).  These tables are also included as supplementary materials associated with the published paper.</distliab>
