Before the first dinosaurs, before the first mammals, just as the very first forests were beginning to form on Earth, the land that makes up New York State today was covered by an ancient ocean. How did the geology formed by this ancient world, nearly 400 million years ago, shape life and commerce along the Hudson River throughout the 1800s and into the present?
In Fossils to Foundations, you will learn about the diverse geological landscape of New York State and the Hudson River Valley. Discover how ancient geological formations became the foundation of transportation and industry along the Hudson River and beyond.
