Produktbeschreibung
Where in Utah can you find a fossilized ant hill that is at least fifty million years old? Do you know the location of an ancient beach that disappeared along with the dinosaurs that strolled it? Find the answers in The Geology of the Parks, Monuments, and Wildlands of Southern Utah. This fascinating and authoritative guide belongs on the dashboard or in the backpack of every visitor to southern Utah or student of its natural history. More than sixty illustrations and nearly three dozen photographs accompany clear explanations of the spectacular geologic features of this landscape, including those of Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Parks, as well as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Section I of the volume surveys chronologically the origins of the formations and structural features and the geologic processes that have shaped the Colorado Plateau. Section II provides road logs with mile-by-mile geologic descriptions of key sections of highway traversing this area. This detailed interpretive guide turns any windshield into a window of opportunity for understanding the forces that created Utah's unforgettable scenery -- whether it be a breathtaking panorama or a dazzling array of fins and fractures, pillars and pedestals, or cliffs and chasms.
