TimeWalk

A Journey Through Time in Adams, Lancaster and York Counties, Pennsylvania

Written by Jeri L.Jones
Illustrations by Teanna Byerts

If you ever walked through the woods or around the neighborhood, picked up an interesting looking rock and wondered how it got there, you may want to purchase a copy of a newly released book "TimeWalk - A Journey through Time in Adams, Lancaster and York Counties, Pennsylvania." 

Written for the novice, the reader will learn much about our landscape and the numerous events that took place here over the past one billion years. Rocks in the three-county area represent two continental collisions and breakups; an ocean and beach environment; a chain of volcanic islands off of the coast of ancient North America and severe erosion and weathering including the Ice Age.

The reader will learn of the many fossils found in the area including dinosaur foot prints, trilobites, petrified wood and shells. Because the area also contains valuable mineral resources, a section is presented describing key quarries, mines and mineral specimens.  

What makes TimeWalk interesting, however, is the listing of "Where Can I See These Rocks" sites at the end of each chapter.  Author Jeri Jones states, "Although reading the story of our ancient history is interesting, it is a more-rewarding experience to go out and touch these rocks. Any rock you pick up will have a story to tell you about its early life."

The book sells for $19.95 plus $5.00 shipping. A discounted rate for educational institutions is available. The book can be obtain by writing to:
