El Paso's geologic past

by Earl M. P. Lovejoy

Since 1980, when El Paso's Geologic Past was first published, this book has been popular with El Pasoans and visitors alike, interested in the unusually rich geologic setting of the El Paso community. In this new edition, the text has been updated, by William C. Cornell, Ph.D., of the University of Texas at El Paso Geology Department. New photographs have replaced the originals, the self-guided tour is revised, and a brief discussion of the Rio Grande Rift - a major geologic feature only beginning to be recognized in 1980 is added, along with an updated reading list.
