Tracing the Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau by Ron Blakey & Wayne Ranney - Part 1

The beautiful stratified rocks of the Colorado Plateau tell a fascinating story of our ever-evolving environment. Imagine landscapes near sea level with tropical, shallow seas; sandy windblown deserts; and an Amazon-scale river system that reached as far as the Appalachian Mountains.

Join geologists and authors Ron Blakey & Wayne Ranney as they take you on an incredible journey through time on the Colorado Plateau where these long lost scenes come to life in a series of dynamic and newly created paleogeographic maps from the new book published by the Grand Canyon Association

Ancient Landscapes is a fantastic example of what the serious investigation of thousands & thousands of honest observant scientists; four decades of study; and an awful lot of cooperation can achieve.

The maps are stunning and the story is wonderfully enlightening.

I hope your work becomes a powerful teaching tool in the ongoing struggle to convey the beauty, majesty and fact of evolution to those masses that hide behind shells of ignorance and insecurity.
