Revisiting Florida's Geology presents an assembly of the state's early geologic history during the Paleozoic into the Mesozoic Era including a discussion on geologic formations, structures, and tectonic processes forming the early basement complex. The Cenozoic history is presented in the context of the uppermost limestone and sedimentary rock formations. The various types of landscapes are presented using selected county geologic maps to show which formations are responsible for producing flatlands, gently to moderately sloping hills, steep hills, valleys, and other features typically observed while traveling throughout the state. The book presents 294 drawings and photographs to guide the reader through the text. The text is presented in a nontechnical format using geological terms where appropriate. The book is intended for secondary, community college level, an d first or second year undergraduate study in Florida geology, and those with a passing interest in Florida's geologic history. Chapter 1 provides a brief review of Florida's Paleozoic through Mesozoic Era basement geologic history. Chapter 2 provides a brief summary of Florida's geologic structures and history. Chapter 3 provides a summary of Florida's Cenozoic Era geologic formations. Chapter 4 provides an overview of five of Florida's most common native minerals. Chapter 5 presents Florida's surficial geology and associated landscapes along with a discussion of Florida's marine and fluvial shoreline terraces marking various sea level stands throughout the state and the relationship to surficial geology for selected counties. Chapter 6 presents a photographic presentation on Florida's karstic processes and landforms.
