Book excerpt: To discover the unworldly geologic novelties of the Gem State, all that is required is a good map, a sense of adventure, and Idaho Rocks!, a guide to 60 of the most compelling geologic sites in Idaho. The well-chosen destinations span the state's geologic history from the 2.6-billion-year-old gneiss in the Panhandle to 2,000-year-old lava at Craters of the Moon, and from gold and silver deposits hidden in Idaho's mountains to visible scars from recent earthquakes and landslides. With its beautiful photographs and informative figures and maps, this guidebook will get you up to speed on every aspect of Idaho's diverse geology. Northern and central Idaho's sparkling rivers flow past algal mounds in 1.4-billion-year-old limy sediments, sandy beaches eroded from crystalline granite, and exotic rocks of ancient volcanic islands. Southern Idaho has been shaped by calderas of the Yellowstone hot spot, along with active faults of the Basin and Range, and one monumental flood that carried boulders the size of cars. Rock hounds can search for star garnets along Emerald Creek, zeolite crystals in basalt cavities, and eye-shaped feldspar in ancient gneiss. Fossil enthusiasts can discover leaf imprints at Clarkia Fossil Beds, learn about Pliocene horses at Hagerman Fossil Beds, and contemplate the bizarrely whorled teeth of the buzz saw shark who prowled the sea 290 million years ago when Idaho's phosphate deposits were accumulating.

Download or read book The Map Rock of Idaho Decoded written by Don Zuhlke and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Map Rock of Idaho is not a typical rock art site. These petroglyphs represent a verifiable map of the surrounding area. The symbols, carved deeply and precisely into solid rock, all correlate with real physical locations in the local geographic area. The map was carved with visual reference points by people who lived in the Snake River Canyon of Idaho long before European settlers arrived, and we must see the area from their vantage points. The Map Rock of Idaho Decoded reads like a textbook crossed with a field guide, interspersed with the author's struggles to finally unravel this mystery. The author guides you through a step-by-step journey of the demonstrable landmarks and archaeoastronomical elements of the map. While this theory is written to be as simple and self-evident as possible (with illustrations and 36 full color photographs), the only way to truly grasp the relationship between the symbols on the Map Rock and the actual landmarks that the symbols represent, is to physically follow the map yourself. It is meant to be experienced firsthand in the natural setting of the Map Rock, and is not intended to be easily understood from the comforts of home.
