Summary
"Written for the novice, the reader will learn much about our landscape and the numerous events that took place here over the past one billion years. Rocks in the three-county area represent two continental collisions and breakups; an ocean and beach environment; a chain of volcanic islands off of the coast of ancient North America and severe erosion and weathering including the Ice Age.The reader will learn of the many fossils found in the area including dinosaur foot prints, trilobites, petrified wood and shells. Because the area also contains valuable mineral resources, a section is presented describing key quarries, mines and mineral specimens. What makes TimeWalk interesting, however, is the listing of 'Where Can I See These Rocks' sites at the end of each chapter." [copy from an advertisement of the book]
