Introduction From as early as I can remember, growing up in Central New York State in the 1950s and ‘60s, I was both mystified and fascinated by the region’s ubiquitous layered strata and the varied fossils that it contained. They were obviously from the sea, yet from another place and time. That little I knew. Soon after, my educational efforts were directed toward a degree in biology and a career in a health profession. Having returned to my youthful passion, I was led to the study of paleontology, the evolution of vertebrates and to developmental biology. Looking back, it seems logical that, in time, I came to appreciate the importance of an education grounded in geology and plate tectonics. Former life and former landscapes are indeed inseparable. In this blog I offer a descriptive, interpretive and photographic perspective of our world, both past and present, and both within my New England home and well beyond.
