{"product_id":"roadside-geology-of-ohio-9780878425242","title":"Roadside Geology of Ohio","description":"Ohio�s bedrock reveals a rich story of the ancient landscapes and animals�massive meat-eating reptiles, foot�long clams, lumbering mammoths�that existed thousands to hundreds of millions of years ago. Fluctuating seas full of marine life, widespread floodplains and rivers choked with sediment, and mile-thick ice sheets from the north all shaped Ohio�s present landscape. But Ohio�s geologic tale has a human side, too. Native Americans fashioned razor-sharp flint spear points; oil, gas, and coal fueled several economic booms; and sandstone and limestone built communities and thriving economies.\u003cbr\u003eThe 25 road guides of \u003ci\u003eRoadside Geology of Ohio\u003c\/i\u003e, complete with 59 maps and figures and 172 photographs, lead you from one corner of the state to the other�from the flat till plains of the west to the hilly eastern Allegheny Plateau, and from the Ohio River valley to the Lake Erie shoreline. Mark Camp�s clear writing explains how caverns and disappearing streams form in karst; why mud cracks, ripple marks, and cross-bedding layers are entombed in sedimentary rock; and how grooves up to 10 feet deep were gouged into the limestone of Kelleys Island. From deserted boomtowns to Ohio�s big cities, \u003ci\u003eRoadside Geology of Ohio\u003c\/i\u003e thoroughly reveals the Buckeye State�s fascinating and dynamic geology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mountain Press Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878425242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.06w x 1.02d","brand":"Mark J.
