Field Excursions to the Northern Sierra Nevada of California, the Mining Districts of the Sierra Nevada, and Cretaceous and Paleocene Sediments in Maryland, USA

View through CrossRef
The field guides in this volume are associated with the GSA Southeastern/Northeastern Sections Joint Meeting and the Cordilleran Section Meeting. Journey through the geology and paleontology of Cretaceous and Paleocene sediments of the Cabin Branch, Cabin Creek, and Tinkers Creek outcrops in Maryland. Go west and explore the northern Sierra Nevada by tackling the history of tectonics and magmatism along the Yuba Pass and Highway 70 corridors. Next, delve deeper into the northern Sierra Nevada by learning about ophiolites, active tectonics, and geomorphology. Last, take a trip to enjoy the roadside geology of the Bodie and Aurora mining Districts, Mono County, California, and Mineral County, Nevada.
