Description

The eastern shore of Lake Erie contains a great variety of geologic features and opportunities to examine human use of natural resources and landscapes. This book includes up-to-date guides and road logs to classic and newly described sites in northeastern Ohio, along the Pennsylvania shore, and in western New York. Guides examine Devonian fossils and extinction events, and the origin and age of folds within those rocks. Quaternary geologic history of the region is examined through the lens of geomorphic mapping and stratigraphy. Historic beaches, bluffs, erosion hazards, and coastal engineering strategies are explored at Presque Isle and Erie Bluffs State Parks. Guides also introduce the reader to the wealth of building stones used in downtown Erie and at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Graycliff site in nearby New York State.
