Roadside Geology of Pennsylvania (Roadside Geology Series) (Roadside Geology Series)
Product Review "Geology minded 'tourists' should welcome this guidebook. If you plan to travel through Pennsylvania . . . don't leave home without this book." --Explorer, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History Product Description From the tightly folded formations in the Appalachians across the broad reaches of horizontal sedimentary layers in the Allegheny Plateau, Pennsylvania's rocks record hundreds of millions of years of geologic history that tell an astounding storyThis book enables the reader to recognize the rocks and understand their meaning. It explains the landscapes of Pennsylvania in terms anyone can understand and enjoy. Reader Reviews Since my husband and I were going to be spending a week in Pennsylvania, I brought the Roadside Geology book of PA along. I was interested in understanding the local geology and was happy to discover three fossil sites within the area we stayed. I was able to look at a Triassic fossil dinosaur footprint at one site and find some Devonian fossils in another. The Roadside Geology book is great for someone who only has a short period of time to explore a particular area. I hope they'll put one out for every state (particularly Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia...hint hint hint.) Comment | | (Report this)
