SynopsisDriving through Nevada, you may be miles from nowhere, but you are never far from an interesting rock, the shoreline of an ice age lake, or an active or historic mine. The Silver State has some of the most diverse geology in the United States, and much of it lies in plain sight thanks to the arid climate of the Great Basin. Geologic forces continue to shape Nevada, stretching it apart and bringing magma near the surface. Earthquakes periodically rock its lonely outposts, creating some of the biggest fault scarps in the world. With the help of Roadside Geology of Nevada, you can appreciate geologic features along more than thirty of Nevadas highways. Some of Nevadas Geologic Highlights Great Basin National Parks limestone caverns Virginia City and the Comstock Lode Tule Springs Fossil Beds Valley of Fires bright red rock Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Parks fossil reptiles Lake Tahoes granitic eastern shore Pyramid Lakes tufa towers Ruby Mountainsglacially carved Lamoille Canyon Red Rock Canyons Jurassic sandstone Alamos extraterrestrial impact Virgin Valleys fossils and opal Cathedral Gorges lakebed badlands Frenchman Mountains Great Unconformity Hoover Dams tough tuff, Driving through Nevada, you may be miles from nowhere, but you are never far from an interesting rock, the shoreline of an ice age lake, or an active or historic mine.
