"The Geology of D.A.R. State Park, Mt. Philo State Forest Park, Sand Bar State Park" by Harry W. Dodge, Jr. is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. The book serves as a geological guide focused on the geological history, rock formations, and fossil discoveries in three state parks situated in Vermont near Lake Champlain. It highlights the geological significance of these natural sites, providing insights into their formation and
the ancient environments they represent. The book offers detailed descriptions of the various rock types found in each park, emphasizing their historical evolution and the fossils contained within them. It begins with D.A.R. State Park, which reveals sedimentary rocks formed from ancient marine environments, followed by Mt. Philo State Forest Park, noted for its striking quartzite formations. Lastly, Sand Bar State Park illustrates more recent geological events with its younger clay deposits. Dodge explains geological processes such as sedimentation, tilting, and the impact of glaciation, guiding readers through a rich narrative of Earth's history preserved in these landscapes.
