The focus is on interpretation of the characteristics of Bahamian and Bermudan rocks units, their fossil faunas and floras, and the karst surface features of the islands. Information from studies of the modern shallow marine environments are used to help understand the rock record. Up-to-date summaries of the geologic history are presented, along with models of stratigraphic development.

UC Santa Barbara lured him from Shell to teach courses in structural geology, field geology, and petrology. His academic research focused on various structural, seismic, and igneous rock problems in the Colorado and Mojave Deserts, the Transverse Ranges, and the Lake Tahoe region, as well as in Norway and southern Italy.

The state's more than 1 billion years of geologic history includes continental collisions that built enormous mountains and rifting forces that almost split the ancient continent apart. The geologic processes are still at work in Tennessee, with sinkholes claiming land in areas of limestone, rivers eroding sediment and shifting channels, and some of North America's largest earthquakes occurring every 500 years on the ancient rift faults near Reelfoot Lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn about unusual meteor impact sites on the Highland Rim of Middle Tennessee, the world-famous fossils in the Coon Creek Formation, and the source of saltpeter used for gunpowder in the Civil War.

Davis earned an MS in geology at the University of Texas in Austin in 2001. She currently works as a research scientist associate at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, supporting field science teams working in such far-flung regions of the world as Antarctica, Greenland, New Zealand, the Arctic and Caribbean Oceans, and the western and southern United States. Marcy is also a prolific science writer with contributions to Polar Field Resources Field Notes as well as to the Earth and Sky radio series. While researching her family history, Marcy traveled the back roads of Tennessee and became fascinated with the state’s geology. Marcy lives and works in Austin along with her husband, Dan, and their cat, Lucille.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.geosociety.org\/collections\/sale-books-public-science-books-at-30-off\" title=\"link to public science bargain books\"\u003eCheck to see if there is a bargain edition of this book available\u003c\/a\u003e.
