Book Description:
Weeping Sandstone: The Geology of the Great Kanawha Valley should be in everyone’s library who is interested in rocks and fossils. Bob Kessler goes back into the past and discusses the different rock types so common in West Virginia and the Kanawha Valley and how they were formed; how ancient plants, animals, and giant insects became trapped in sediment and are today liberated as fossils; and what it must have been like to have lived during the time of the rock’s formation 300 million years ago. Kessler discusses and identifies the rocks seen in road cuts and the creation of coal beds, and teaches how to “read” the rocks since each rock has its own story. The Kanawha Valley has had many “faces” — from flat as a western plain to mountainous and all shapes in between. Kessler puts it all together in an easy reading narrative along with some of his own thoughts on Nature, time, and current land development. After reading this book it will be difficult to look at rocks as just something you put on your driveway or skip across a lake.
