@jmccyoung @michael_w_busch @futurebird @catmisgivings have your read this one? It was hard to get a copy for a while.

(I am not exactly sure how geology books have multiplied like mushrooms on my bookshelves)

@michael_w_busch @futurebird @catmisgivings This is the most Mastodon pile on I've ever seen. People very excited over geology books!

For the record - this is the book with the 50 point process for determining mineral types.

The Roadside book I have has better maps, but the Sierras book is better on the science. Crazy fun fact - the west side of the Sierras has an average 2% grade. It's tough mainly because of crazy river and glacier valleys (Yosemite!). The back side of the Sierras has a whopping average 25% grade.

@catmisgivings @futurebird look for roadside geology books for your area!

They have maps like this or similar along roadways, pointing out interesting formations. Some are more detailed than others.

@futurebird who am I to judge.

I have a field guide on geology on my desk.

It has a 50 step process to allow anyone to identify minerals!

Because who doesn't go on hikes without a splash of vinegar handy.
