The geology of western North Carolina records over a billion years of Earth’s history. These rocks contain evidence of volcanism, ancient sea floors, mountain building, continental rifting, and more! Join us for a discussion of the rocks and events that have shaped this beautiful area, creating important mineral resources and potential hazards.
