Roadside Geology of Wisconsin - by Robert H Dott & John W Attig (Paperback)

The Roadside Geology of Wisconsin is a comprehensive guide that unravels the 2,800 million years of geologic history recorded in the state's rocks.

With lively prose, detailed maps, black-and-white photographs, and shaded-relief images, this book takes readers on a journey through time, from mastodons roaming in front of glaciers 12,000 years ago to volcanoes exploding 1,900 million years ago.

The authors provide an in-depth look at the geology of each region and offer thirty-five road guides that locate and interpret the rocks, sediments, and landforms visible from the state's highways, including the Great River Road in the Mississippi Valley.

Whether you're a resident or visitor to Wisconsin, this book is an essential companion for anyone interested in exploring the state's unique geological history.
