Book Title: A Practical Guide to Introductory Geology (2023-2024 Edition)
Book Description: A Practical Guide to Introductory Geology (2022-2023 Edition) is a comprehensive laboratory manual covering the physical aspects of geology, including rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, structural geology, and much more. The text has a strong emphasis on examples from western Canada, especially Alberta and British Columbia, and includes a diverse set of exercises intended to accompany the GEOL 1101 curriculum at Mount Royal University. This laboratory manual is an adaptation of Physical Geology - 2nd Edition by Steven Earle, and builds on earlier editions of A Practical Guide to Introductory Geology by Benjamin Daniels and Siobhan McGoldrick.

Campanian-Maastrichtian sedimentary rocks exposed near Willow Creek provide an important record of depositional processes associated with ancient fluvial and marginal marine depositional systems that were once present in central Alberta. These rocks also contain numerous fossils from the same time period, including dinosaurs, molluscs, and various species of plants.
