I was checking the internet for places in Ohio to look for rocks when I stumbled across this link. It lists each state in the U.S. with information and links about individual state geological make-up and the histories behind it. There are also many neat features in the side bar that will give other kinds of info. It's well worth checking out. geology.about.com/od/stategeologicmaps/ |

Interesting! I found out that Minnesota has the oldest rocks found so far in the United States ... 3.6 billion years old. Thanks for the link!!

These are good, but does anyone know where one can get hold of state geological maps that breaks it down even furthur (into individual formations)? I remember one in geology class at Juniata College that broke it down into individual formations and even listed what one could expect to find within these formations. That would be indispensible!
None-the-less, thank you for the link, dtcmor. It's a step in the right direction!
