I ...Wish I could have gone with you! Beautiful...<br /><br />I have a Roadside Geology of Montana and just checked Amazon and there is a roadside history for Nevada but not an obvious title in the geology series -- might have your library friends check? Mine is wonderful for hikes like that.beadlizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345991066699824794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-85196738656190630422010-04-12T02:59:03.987-07:002010-04-12T02:59:03.987-07:00Sharon, looks like a great hike and a perfect day ...Sharon, looks like a great hike and a perfect day for it.

The seashells as has been mentioned was when there was a sea of salt water.<br />We may be at 70%+- water cover right now, but at one time it was darn close to 100%.<br />Surly there must be a few books written on the local geology, which reminds me, I should look for one locally here too! Lots of volcanic rock.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-41150676510730841982010-04-11T00:04:03.446-07:002010-04-11T00:04:03.446-07:00Oh, and I might add that at one time all of Nevada...Oh, and I might add that at one time all of Nevada was covered by salt water; the Carlin Trend actually runs along what used to be a continental shelf. And the powdery stuff is probably chalk, if you see it again, take a piece and try to write on a dark rock with it...~~Sittin.n.Spinninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488509291525218944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-34414377444592568402010-04-11T00:00:58.725-07:002010-04-11T00:00:58.725-07:00I'm not a geologist, but I took the class lol,...I'm not a geologist, but I took the class lol, its oxidized iron.
