The latest edition of this popular book explores the state’s recent rumblings and tremulous past with the aid of full color illustrations. Spectacular photographs showcase multihued rock, from red chert and green serpentinite to blue schist and gray granite. The color geologic road maps, based on the 2010 \u003ci\u003eGeologic Map of California\u003c\/i\u003e, are detailed and easy to read. The geologic information, particularly for the Klamath Mountains, Modoc Plateau, and northern Sierra Nevada, has been updated to reflect the more recent geologic understanding of these complex areas.

Fourteen years later, the Big Sky portion of that book was updated to become \u003ci\u003eRoadside Geology of Montana\u003c\/i\u003e, a bright-yellow field guide that soon graced bookshelves across the state. Now, nearly 50 years after the first book, Mountain Press has released this completely revised full-color second edition that, like so many things in Montana, is big. But consider this: no other place in the world has such amazingly diverse and well-exposed rocks with such dramatic stories. For example, Montana lies at the northern edge of the Yellowstone caldera, the world's largest and most violent volcano. A lot of what the world knows about dinosaurs and their demise came from fossils discovered in Montana's badlands. What began with panning for gold in the 1860s led to 1-mile-deep mines in Butte that supplied 60 percent of the world's copper by 1898. The world's largest ice age floods left ripples up to 50 feet high as Glacial Lake Missoula catastrophically drained from western Montana. With this book as your guide, you'll discover these and other world-class geologic features around every bend of the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e480 pages, 6 x 9, paperback\u003cbr\u003eItem #208, ISBN 978-0-87842-696-6\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Society of America\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountain Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31766024421461,"sku":"208","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2470\/3250\/products\/RGMT_cover.jpg?v=1581465230"}],"url":"https:\/\/mountain-press.com\/collections\/hyndman-donald-w\/geology.oembed","provider":"Mountain Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
