{"product_id":"roadside-geology-of-nevada-9780878426720","title":"Roadside Geology of Nevada","description":"Driving through Nevada, you may be miles from nowhere, but you are never far from an interesting rock, the shoreline of an ice age lake, or an active or historic mine. The Silver State has some of the most diverse geology in the United States, and much of it lies in plain sight thanks to the arid climate of the Great Basin. Geologic forces continue to shape Nevada, stretching it apart and bringing magma near the surface. Earthquakes periodically rock its lonely outposts, creating some of the biggest fault scarps in the world. With the help of Roadside Geology of Nevada, you can appreciate geologic features along more than thirty of Nevada�s highways. \u003cbr\u003eSome of Nevada�s Geologic Highlights\u003cbr\u003eGreat Basin National Park�s limestone caverns\u003cbr\u003eVirginia City and the Comstock Lode\u003cbr\u003eTule Springs Fossil Beds\u003cbr\u003eValley of Fire�s bright red rock\u003cbr\u003eBerlin-Ichthyosaur State Park�s fossil reptiles\u003cbr\u003eLake Tahoe�s granitic eastern shore\u003cbr\u003ePyramid Lake�s tufa towers\u003cbr\u003e Ruby Mountains� glacially carved Lamoille Canyon\u003cbr\u003eRed Rock Canyon�s Jurassic sandstone\u003cbr\u003eAlamo�s extraterrestrial impact\u003cbr\u003eVirgin Valley�s fossils and opal\u003cbr\u003eCathedral Gorge�s lakebed badlands\u003cbr\u003eFrenchman Mountain�s Great Unconformity\u003cbr\u003eHoover Dam�s tough tuff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11836594\"\u003eFrank Decourten\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13449076\"\u003eNorma Biggar\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mountain Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878426720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878426728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SCI\"\u003eScience\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SCI031000\"\u003eEarth Sciences | Geology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-TRV\"\u003eTravel\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-TRV025130\"\u003eUnited States | West | Pacific (AK, CA, HI, OR, WA)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mountain Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42705020092653,"sku":"9780878426720","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_618abf36-7856-4646-bfba-73d097c65c45.jpg?v=1650007414","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/roadside-geology-of-nevada-9780878426720","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
