The Austin Geological Society began in April 1965 when a small group of geologists met to promote better professional communication among the geologists in the Austin area. Field trips and publication on site
This is a series of geologic road logs all starting in Llano, Tx and radiating outward to surrounding towns. The geology was taken from available Llano Uplift publications and field guides and photographs and locations added by taking the individual routes
USGS presentation of plate tectonics. You can download a PDF copy of the publication from this site
maps, discussions and photographs from Robert M. Reed, University of Texas
A video instructional series on geology for college and high school classrooms and adult learners; 26 half-hour video programs and coordinated books. This is a terrific series that I used to teach biological oceanography students the fundamentals of geology. You now have to sign up to use the site
comments and photographs from a field trip to the Llano Uplift
Bureau of Economic Geology resources for teachers and students of geology. Some of these are really interesting
photographs and geology from the National Park Service with a nice set of links to explore geology
Engineering geology site of maps and discussions of the characteristics of earth materials in outcrop and subsurface

A chapter on the geology of Texas as part of a physical geology course - from Univ. of North Texas
The objective of the Texas Hill Country Virtual Field Trip is to educate visitors to the website about the geology of the hill country in Texas. A key part of this objective is that we wanted to create a website that people could visit that would, in effect, show visitors what the hill country would be like if they visited it themselves.

This presentation uses a series of paleogeographic and plate-tectonic reconstructions to show the broad patterns of Phanerozoic Earth history. Organization is by region and in geologic order from oldest to youngest for each region. The paleogeographic globes help in understanding deposition of the Cambrian and Ordovician rocks of the Llano Uplift
an outstanding presentation of the concept of geological time and the geologic periods the we use to express time
The geologic history of Texas is recorded in rocks found in outcrops throughout the state and in rocks penetrated by boreholes drilled primarily in the search for oil and natural gas.
