Synopsis

This book is a practical guide to understanding geology through the study of Earth's rocks and fossils. The author encourages readers to use the text as both a supplement and a guide to a more advanced study of geology. It is not meant to take the place of textbooks but rather complement them and offer a more hands-on approach to the subject. The book's primary focus is the study of upper Devonian rocks in Southern New York. The author takes the reader through the identification of various types of rocks and fossils, and shows how different layers of rock have been formed throughout history. The text concludes with an explanation of the evolutionary process, using fossils as evidence, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the geology of our planet to better appreciate its complexity and history.
