Last Billion Years - Addendum

AGS is pleased to announce that we have reprinted Last Billion Years - A Geological History of the Maritime Provinces of Canada. It again available from our bookstore page.

Since 2001, when this book was first printed, knowledge and concepts of the geology of the Maritime Provinces and adjacent areas onshore and offshore has expanded considerably. The present version retains the original content, so does not always reflect today's views. For a listing of books and other material that give more recent interpretations of some of the topics presented here, the interested reader may refer to the following publications (all available from AGS):
