Synopsis
Explore Yellowstone’s deep past through field-based geology.
This nonfiction work guides you through the pre-Tertiary rocks, intrusions, and fault history of northern Yellowstone, using real field data to reconstruct how the park’s landscape formed.
This edition presents a clear, step-by-step look at how geologists study rock layers, map structural features, and interpret the region’s tectonic evolution. It blends measured sections, rock descriptions, and tectonic ideas to show how early processes shaped today’s park scenery, from uplifted blocks to volcanic activity.- See how field data translates into maps and cross-sections that reveal the park’s ancient structure
- Learn to identify rock units and textures typical of pre-Tertiary formations
- Understand how interactions between major tectonic provinces help explain Yellowstone’s geology
- Get a grounded view of the methods scientists use to piece together Earth’s history in a single landscape
