This is a web site where students in my geology classes can have papers they have written posted on the world wide web. This is done with the idea that others may wish to know something about the stratigraphy of various parks and monuments. The papers are have been reviewed and graded; they are not necesarily all grade A projects.
Faculty who have students doing similar project are encouraged to contact me about posting their students work at this site.
