Geologic field trip guidebooks are an excellent resource for detailed geologic information relating to specific localities. Since the guidebooks are usually not commercially produced and may have had limited distribution, they are sometimes challenging to find. The Geologic Guidebooks of North America Database is a good starting point to locate information about field trip guidebooks.
