Rocks in the Chiricahua National Monument and the Ft. Bowie National Historical Area
Chiricahua National Monument is best known for its spectacular rock pinnacles and splendid geology that includes volcanic deposits of the ancient Turkey Creek Caldera. This beautifully illustrated text, written for the general public, tells the story of the Chiricahua Mountains through maps, pictures and illustrations. You'll learn how joints form, how to recognize fossil fumaroles, and you'll walk along slot canyons with an eye open for welded tuff, talus cones and spherulites. Author John Bezy expounds on the cultural and geologic history of Fort Bowie National Historic Site, too. A simplified geologic map sets the stage for discussing the Apache Pass Fault zone and its control of local springs that were so important to both Native Americans and early settlers wandering through southern Arizona.
