The Geology of D.A.R. State Park, Mt. Philo State Forest Park, Sand Bar State Park

"The Geology of D.A.R. State Park, Mt. Philo State Forest Park, Sand Bar State Park" by Harry W. Dodge, Jr. presents a detailed geological tour of three Vermont state parks next to Lake Champlain. This book explores the history of Earth as it's written in the rocks and fossils of D.A.R. State Park, Mt. Philo State Forest Park, and Sand Bar State Park. The journey begins with D.A.R. State Park, showing sedimentary rocks from old seas, proceeds to the quartzite formations of Mt. Philo State Forest Park, and concludes with the young clay deposits of Sand Bar State Park. Dodge explains the processes that shaped these landscapes, such as the laying down of sediments, the tilting of the earth, and the major impact of glaciers upon this area.
