Tracing the Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau
Thursday, May 21, 2009
Foothills Branch of the Glendale Public Library
19055 North 57th Avenue
Glendale, Ariz.
7:00 p.m.

The beautiful stratified rocks of the Colorado Plateau tell a fascinating story of our ever-evolving environment. Imagine landscapes near sea level with tropical, shallow seas; sandy windblown deserts; and an Amazon-scale river system that reached as far as the Appalachian Mountains.

Join geologist and author Wayne Ranney as he takes you on an incredible journey through time on the Colorado Plateau where these long lost scenes come to life in a series of dynamic and newly created paleogeographic maps from the new book published by the Grand Canyon Association
