Roadside Geology Series

I absolutely love the Roadside Geology series! Waldorf does a main lesson block on Geology in grade 6, but I know that lots of families have children that are rockhounds early on... or sometimes you're just taking a long drive and wondering what you're looking at!

We have Geology Underfoot in Illinois by Raymond Wiggers and I refer to it often. In fact, it includes Tower Rock, and Zac and I took the opportunity while the Mississippi River was very low this week to walk out there. We went to the Missouri side, to Tower Rock Conservation Area in Frohna MO.

Amazing to see this ancient rock (Devonian Period, 400 MYA) so close. And Zac found a trilobite fossil in the layers of riverbed rock we were walking on!
