Tectonosedimentary Relations of Pennsylvanian to Jurassic Strata on the Colorado Plateau
Author: William R. Dickinson
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 081372533X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description

The Evolution of Paleontological Art
Author: Renee M. Clary
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 0813712181
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
"This volume samples the history of art about fossils-and the visual conceptualization of their significance-starting with biblical and mythological depictions, extending to renditions of ancient life in long-vanished habitats, and on to a modern understanding that paleoart conveys lessons for the betterment of the human condition. Twenty-nine chapters illustrate how art about fossils has come to be a significant teaching tool not only about evolution of past life, but also about conservation of our planet for the benefit of future generations"--

Mesozoic Assembly of the North American Cordillera
Author: Robert S. Hildebrand
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 0813724953
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
"In this well-illustrated book, Hildebrand expands upon his model for the development of the North American Cordillera detailed in Special paper 457. Starting with an overview of Cordilleran geology he goes on to provide an in depth look at how the Rubian ribbon continent was assembled. He integrates the complex geology of the Cordillera into an actualistic model involving arc magmatism, arc-continent collision, slab failure magmatism, and transcurrent motion in both Rubia and the western North American margin. While much of the focus is on the assembly of the Rubian ribbon continent, Hildebrand explores its interactions with North America during the Sevier and Laramide events and concludes that North America was the lower plate in both"--Provided by publisher.
