Synopsis

This book details the geology of the Coamo-Guayama district in Puerto Rico, encompassing a diverse range of rock types formed through volcanic activity and subsequent weathering. The author presents a detailed analysis of the district's geological formations, including their composition, structure, and origins, offering a comprehensive understanding of the region's geological past. Through meticulous field observations and laboratory analysis, the author establishes a sequence of sedimentary rocks, classifying them into distinct series based on their characteristics and relative ages. These series reveal a complex geological history, marked by periods of intense volcanism, erosion, and marine deposition. The book not only provides a detailed account of the geological formations but also discusses the broader implications for understanding the geological evolution of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean region. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for geologists, students, and anyone interested in the geological history of Puerto Rico and the broader Caribbean region.
