The Shoo Fly Complex in the northern Sierra Nevada in California (USA) is a subduction complex of rock metamorphosed to lower greenschist facies.[1][2] The name comes from an 1892 description by Joseph S. Diller of a prominent part of the formation between Shoo Fly Bridge (near Indian Falls[3]) and Spanish Creek.[4]
