awesome Grand Canyon. Appropriately for the 50th anniversary of the rst lunar
landing, one trip visits sites in northern Arizona that helped prepare astronauts
for their missions. Several guides address aspects of the Proterozoic to
Cenozoic tectonic development of the Transition Zone between the
Field Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range. Exploring the Basin
and Range, guides feature Laramide tectonism and ore deposit
Guide development, features associated with large-magnitude Ceno-
zoic extensional tectonism, large Miocene volcanic centers in
northwestern Arizona, and tectonism and development of the lower
Colorado River. Three eld guides explore various aspects of north-
western Mexico, including tectonics and ore deposits of Sonora, fauna
and paleo environments of Colorado River delta deposits, and volcanism
in central Baja California. Finally, a guide analyzes anthropogenic earth
ssures that have developed in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
