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. 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. Landscapes were transposed north or south
by thousands of kilometers along huge fault systems. Follow these
events through paleogeographic maps that look like satellite views
of ancient Earth. Accompanying text takes the reader into the
science behind these maps and the geologic history that they
portray. The maps and text unfold the complex geologic history of
the region as never seen before. Winner of the 2021 John D. Haun
Landmark Publication Award, AAPG-Rocky Mountain Section
