Allow yourself to be taken back into deep geologic time when strange creatures roamed the Earth and Western North America looked completely unlike the modern landscape. Landscapes were transposed north or south by thousands of kilometers along huge fault systems. Volcanic islands stretched from Mexico to Alaska, most of the Pacific Rim didn't exist yet, at least not as widespread dry land; terranes drifted from across the Pacific to dock on Western Americas' shores creating mountains and more volcanic activity.
Accompanying text takes the reader into the science behind these maps and the geologic history that they portray. Follow these events through paleogeographic maps that look like satellite views of ancient Earth. The maps and text unfold the complex geologic history of the region as never seen before.Winner of the 2021 John D.
