Treehuggers International’s recent conversation with author, retired California State Parks ranger, and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park paleontology expert Paul Remeika is now in the Show Archive. Currently working on a revised edition of his landmark book Geology of Anza-Borrego: Edge of Creation, Paul Remeika provides a fascinating look into the layers of fossils, rock, and time captured in the Salton Trough and on natural display at the “outdoor museum” of Anza-Borrego, and discusses the myriad of fault blocks and tectonic forces which make Anza-Borrego one of the most seismically active areas in North America. Now available at the Show Archive page.
