This book is written for visitors to Shenandoah National Park who appreciate the natural beauty of the park and want to learn about the fascinating geologic features. Readily observable geologic features are discussed at twenty-six different localities, twenty-five of which are accessible form Skyline Drive. Such features include the roots of the massive mountain chain that existed here one billion years ago, volcanic rocks, beach sands and their fossils, and a large fault associated with uplift of the Appalachian Mountains.

From Rodinia to Pangea by Richard P. Tollo Pdf

"The Appalachians constitute one of Earth's major tectonic features and have served as a springboard for innovative geologic thought for more than 170 years. This volume contains 36 original papers reporting the results of research performed throughout nearly the entire length and breadth of the Appalachian region, including all major provinces and geographical areas. Memoir 206 was designed to commemorate the (near-)fortieth anniversary of the publication of the classic Studies of Appalachian Geology volumes that appeared just prior to the application of plate tectonic concepts to the region. Contributions concerning structural evolution, sedimentation, stratigraphy, magmatic processes, metamorphism, tectonics, and terrane accretion illustrate the wide range of ongoing research in the area and collectively serve to mark the considerable progress in scientific thought that has occurred during the past four decades."--pub. desc.
