Sierra Geology Articles

I found some very interesting articles about geology of the Sierra; in particular, the Yosemite and Mount Whitney regions. They were written by Francois Matthes, the pre-eminent Sierra geologist.

The Geologic History of Mount Whitney from "François Matthes and the Marks of Time: Yosemite and the High Sierra by François E. Matthes (1962)"

A selection of other articles from François Matthes and the Marks of Time: Yosemite and the High Sierra (1962) by François E. Matthes

Enjoy!

Preston,
Thanks for sharing these interesting articles. I started browsing the Matthes article, lost of very interesting historical bits. The title "Marks in Time" is so accurate. Best Regards.

Really interesting material, Preston. Thanks for the links.

Thanks, Preston. This is great.

Thanks for posting Preston. I just thought I would recommend that Yosemite site in general that you're referring too. A TON of information all in one place from a guy named Dan who is just a love of Yosemite like the rest of us. There's a forum there that I answer a few questions now and then, but it doesn't get a whole lot of traffic in that forum. But there's a wealth of information, history and knowledge references about Yosemite. Check it out at
