The Geology of Snow Canyon State Park, Washington County, Utah


Book Description

The stark intensity of Snow Canyon State Park’s colors, terrain, and vegetation create a surrealistic flair to one of southern Utah’s most striking recreation areas. Snow Canyon’s scenery reminds us of the earth’s past when extensive river systems meandered through Utah, desert sands enveloped the land, and volcanic eruptions scorched the earth with hot molten rock. Remnants from these spectacular events in Utah’s history are preserved in the park’s landscape. With a little imagination, this brochure will help you see how elements of these ancient climates and lands are recorded in the rock walls and how slow, constant natural processes continue to alter the park’s façade.

Geology of Millard County, Utah


Book Description

This bulletin serves not only to introduce the non-geologist to the rich geology of Millard County, but also to provide professional geologists with technical information on the stratigraphy, paleontology, and structural geology of the county. Millard County is unique among Utah’s counties in that it contains an exceptionally complete billion-year geologic record. This happened because until about 200 million years ago the area of present-day Millard County lay near sea level and was awash in shallow marine waters on a continental shelf upon which a stack of fossil-bearing strata more than 6 miles (10 km) thick slowly accumulated. This bulletin summarizes what is known about these strata, as well as younger rocks and surficial deposits in the county, and provides references to scientific papers that describe them in greater detail. Mountains North 30 x 60 (1:100,000-scale) quadrangles. These companion maps and this bulletin portray the geology of Millard County more completely and accurately than any previously published work.
