    Description

    SCARCE ITEM!!  BIG MAPS!!
    This is USGS Professional Paper 526-C,
    Cretaceous and Early Tertiary Depositional and Tectonic History of the Livingston Area, Southwestern Montana
    . Published in 1972, this nice report consists of the 120-page book, two large color maps, and a large folded stratigraphic column with descriptions of the various rock units. One of the color maps is over 40 inches wide. The other shows the folded rocks in great detail.
    The study area covers from Livingston in the far east, nearly to Bozeman, encompassing parts of the Gallatin, Bridger, and Beartooth ranges, within Park and Gallatin counties. Paradise Valley runs up the east side of the area. The book is structured to describe as well as possible all of the rock units in Cretaceous to Early Tertiary time window. To do this they examined each formation at one to three locales where it is well exposed and drew conclusions about the nature and meaning of the formations. In total the formation comprise about 20,000 feet thickness, and the history was apparently fairly eventful, so there is a good bit of variety.
    This is a great item on a popular and beautiful area, and the maps are simply gorgeous. They would look great framed and displayed in a home or business in the area. This will give you a much better understanding of the geologic history of this beautiful area, and maybe even a cool map to hang on your wall.
