Geology of Vancouver area

A free public talk for White Rock and Surrey Naturalists Society.

Speaker: David Cook, Geologist.

Meeting time and location: 7:30 pm. Elgin Hall 14250 Crescent Road, Surrey

Description of talk: This illustrated talk will be a 400 million year journey through the geological history of the Vancouver area. Some of the highlights will be sandstones with coal beds laid down in the deltas of 50 to 70 million year old rivers, the roots of 37 million year old volcanoes, giant granitic boulders brought to the area during the Ice Age, clues to former sea levels left in the cliffs around the shores of Burrard Inlet and evidence that even today we live in an area of dynamic geological change."
