| Glacial Lake Missoula and Its Humongous Floods |
| Author: David Alt |
 This is the best book on the subject I have read. I have personally looked at many of the features David Alt discusses. If you have time to read just one book on the subject before you come to the Northwest to look at these features read this book. I have heard Dr. Alt speak several times and have had several conversations with him about local geology. Attend his public appearances if you get a chance and take your copy of the book for him to sign. If you are in Missoula buy your copy of the book at the Montana Natural History Museum. If not click here for an Amazon link.

| Roadside Geology of Montana |
| Author: David Alt and Donald W. Hyndman |
| Montana's geologic history includes a long succession of disturbances that changed the rocks, then changed many of them again. Unraveling these events reveals a geologically quiet continent that got scrambled in a long and grinding collision with the Pacific crustal plate. Through detailed geologic maps and lively text, Roadside Geology of Montana deciphers the complicated rock record and uncovers each layer of Big Sky Country. |

| Rockhounding Montana |
| Author: Robert Feldman |
| Montana is a rockhound's dream, where inland seas once deposited fossils and minerals that the forces of geology have since laid bare. Rockhounding Montana, formerly The Rockhound's Guide to Montana, can lead you to the Yellowstone River, where you can comb the gravel for Montana agate, an official state gemstone, or to the badlands along Hell Creek, where paleontologists have found dinosaur remains. The book, by rockhound and educator Robert Feldman, contains information on the sapphire mines along the Missouri River near Helena, the limestone caves in the Pryor Mountains, as well as brief histories of mining at Butte and other locations. Even novices can find their way to crystals, garnets, geodes, and fossilized wood. You'll discover remote mountain streams where you can pan for gold or hunt for fossils. Rockhounding Montana covers popular and commercial areas as well as many little known sites on public land. The book gives directions, includes a glossary, maps, and directories to museums, rock shops, and rock clubs. The beginner finds a complete introduction to this fascinating hobby and the expert discovers an excellent sourcebook in Rockhounding Montana. Bring it along on your next geological journey. |
