An Introduction to Michigan Geology

The geologic formations of Michigan span more than 3.5 billion years, from Precambrian rocks in the western Upper Peninsula to Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in the eastern Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula, followed by thick deposits of glacial drift from the Pleistocene. This video provides an overview of the geology of Michigan. We explore the types of rocks, how they were formed, where they can be found, and notable resources they provide.
