Geology in downtown Boise?!? Come with geology professor Shawn Willsey as he investigates a variety of attractive building stones from locations both near and far. Learn about the erroneous marbles of the state Capitol building, the 3.5 billion year old swirling rock on the Dept of Lands building, the odd rapakivi granite on Idaho Central Arena, and much more.
