The Tiburon Peninsula is a landform of the San Francisco Bay Area's Marin County and hosts the communities of Tiburon and Belvedere, California[2] Much of the land area of the Tiburon Peninsula was part of a Spanish Land Grant originally given to the Early Californian John Reed. A prominent feature of the Tiburon Peninsula is Ring Mountain, Marin County, which forms the backbone of the peninsula and is the highest elevation of the peninsula. The Tiburon Peninsula is the locus of a number of rare and endangered flora species, and is also the site of certain ancient Native American rock carvings.[3] The mineral lawsonite is known to occur on the Tiburon Peninsula.[4]
