Arizona Rocks!: A Guide to Geologic Sites in the Grand Canyon State

story behind every rocky outcrop, dry playa, and

sparkling spring. Arizona Rocks tells the stories of 44 of

the best geologic sites in the state. Not only will you learn

about well-known places, such as Barringer Meteorite Crater

and Petrified Forest National Park, you'll also discover

lesser-known sites, including Hopi Buttes, which formed

from steam-driven explosions; Peridot Mesa, where gemstones

from the Earth's interior are found; and Montezuma

Well, a limestone sinkhole with a perennial supply of water.

Ample color photographs compliment the text, and maps

help get you where you need to be. Arizona Rocks is the

second book in the state-by-state Geology Rocks series,

which introduces readers to some of the most compelling

and accessible geologic sites in each state.
