A Guide to the Geology of the Flagstaff Area

by John V. Bezy

Book Overview

Situated on the Colorado Plateau at 7,000 feet above sea level, Flagstaff is home to three national monuments and the San Francisco volcanic field. John Bezy?s ?Guide to the Geology of the Flagstaff Area? is the one guide you need for exploring the marvelous and diverse geology of northern Arizona. Written for the general public, the 53-page text includes more than 45 pictures and illustrations, from the cross-bedded Coconino Sandstone of Walnut Canyon to squeeze-ups on the Bonito lava flow of Sunset Crater. The text walks you through a lava tube, to the edge of a sinkhole, and along the chilled margin of a pristine lava flow, all the while explaining the processes that shaped the spectacular geologic scenery of Flagstaff and environs.
