This is one of our favorite books to have open in our laps while driving across Texas. It is organized along the highways between major cities and or along good geology field trip roads. As you see road cuts, outcroppings, formations and other geological structures, the book describes the what, why, and when of where you are!
The Roadside Geology Series books are great companions that will entice the explorer in you. Enhance your trips, add to the excitement, and impress your friends when you know more about the geology and topography of their home area than they do. This series of books provides roads and landmarks so that you can easily find the features discussed. This series is available for a variety of states, email or call us for more information. Roadside Geology of Texas gives an excellent description of the historical geologic development of Texas. Features that are visible today are explained in detail with many shown in cross-section. Photographs and maps supplement the detailed descriptions. You don’t have to be a geologist to appreciate this book, but, geologists will find it invaluable.
With this book, you can learn about the rocks as you come to them—what they are, when they formed, what they mean, and how they fit into the big picture of the geology of Texas.
