About This Book

The authors reconstruct the geological history of the Connecticut River lowland, explaining older erosion surfaces, river incision, Triassic basins, volcanic episodes, and glacial reshaping that produced features like roche moutonnées and oxbow lakes. They survey fossil evidence such as dinosaur tracks and layered sediment beds, and summarize local mineralogy and rock types. Interpretive diagrams and photographs accompany detailed site descriptions and suggested field trips. Practical guidance on collecting and identifying minerals and rocks is provided alongside explanations of notable local phenomena, culminating in an integrated account that links familiar landscape landmarks to deep geological processes.
