PDF Field guide and maps

The field guide is provided as a PDF file (Acrobat Reader 4.0 or higher required). This PDF contains thumbnails, bookmarks, and a hot-linked table of contents. The guidebook can be printed on standard 8½" x 11" printers. In March, 2001, Robert Zatkin and Michael Diggles revised the book that was used on the trip the previous May. This new version contains 214 pages including five color sheets.

The print-version of the field guide is 161 MB and too large to put on a server. If you want a copy of the PDF, contact Mike Diggles (mdiggles@usgs.gov) and he will put a copy on a CD-ROM and mail it to you. Also contact Mike if you want a paper copy.

We made a screen version (low resolution) with high compression (low-quality) for online viewing. You can also download it if you right-click (Windows) or click-and-hold (Macintosh) on the link below.
