OK. Now how do I make them turn blue (like a baby in a zip-lock bag) so that you don't have to cut and paste...?
Anyone?

Take your link, e.g. "http://www.realdoll.com/"
and do this with it:
<a href="http://www.realdoll.com/">http://www.realdoll.com/</a>;
Then it will then show up here like this:
<a href="http://www.realdoll.com/">http://www.realdoll.com/</a>;

A site on aplite dikes in Tuolumne:

Hmmm. Looks like a bunch of jiberish to me.
Will it work?

Here’s a bunch of links for anyone who is interested in learning a little geology. Keep in mind that some of the more simple or ‘tourist’ sites may not be 100% correct, nor spell things properly. Other sites may be quite technical. These are just a few that I have found that relate to the Sierras and Yosemite. Have fun.
This site has basics about granite (etc...) and a geologic map of the Valley. Also check out the home page (the top link).
<a href="http://www.virtual.yosemite.cc.ca.us/ghayes/granite.htm">www.virtual.yosemite.cc.ca.us/ghayes/granite.htm</a>
This site is apparently for a petrology lab; various types of rocks are discussed.
<a href="http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~geo253vc/">www.sp.uconn.edu/~geo253vc/</a>
This one is an undergrad (?) project by a Scottish student...? Lots of good technical info on the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite but not super-high level.
<a href="http://www.tcd.ie/Natural_Resources/Geoscience/contents.htm">www.tcd.ie/Natural_Resources/Geoscience/contents.htm</a>
A super basic overview of Yosemite geology. Follow the links to climbing info.
<a href="http://www.terraquest.com/highsights/valley/geology.html">www.terraquest.com/highsights/valley/geology.html</a>
This is the Park Service’s geo site. Nice diagrams.
<a href="http://www.ursbrw-den.net/yosesite2/glance/geology/geology.htm">www.ursbrw-den.net/yosesite2/glance/geology/geology.htm</a>
Here’s a little info on the Mammoth area.
<a href="http://www.r5.fs.fed.us/inyo/vvc/mammoth/geology.htm">www.r5.fs.fed.us/inyo/vvc/mammoth/geology.htm</a>
This site contains many links to geology sites on geology all over the place...
<a href="http://www.research.umbc.edu/~miller/geog111/assign9.htm">www.research.umbc.edu/~miller/geog111/assign9.htm</a>
This site contains an overview of previous research on the Sierras.

This site is from the USGS. Too bad they can’t figure out which side of the Valley El Cap is on.

Thanks fellow geek.

Copperhead, this was awesome. The Tuolume Intrusive dike stuff is way, over my head. Loved the pictures though.

Haha, back in 2002 when this thread started it didn't seem like the Internet was in it's infancy. I first got online in 1994, so to me it seemed like the Internet had been around for about 8 years, a long time, but it's been 16 years since this was posted. Every link it this post is now dead.
And what's with geology geek Minerals calling it the Sierras?

Damn... Did you rent a backhoe to dig up this one? Ha...! This was from the good ol’ days of ST, when you didn’t need to register to post, and it was a total free-for-all. But then it got out of hand, and CMac had to make everyone’s nickname turn blue. Interesting how the first post in this thread linked up to my current username, which had not been created yet, at the time when I started this thread in 2002.

The seventh link appears to still work, if you copy and paste, and some of the links on the page that comes up still work.
I stopped making the range plural quite a while ago, but yes, what I originally posted is not correct. And, the first word in the first post should be Here’re, while we’re at it.
Now then... about that apostrophe in your first sentence... ; )
Three ‘updated’ links, to keep y’all happy...

I saw this thread because I’m taking an earth science field trip to the valley with my sons high school class and was doing some research. His teacher calls it the Sierras and so far I’ve been able to bite my tongue but I don’t think I’ll make it through a weekend without saying something. I just think he’d want to know if he’s ignorant. It’s one thing if a civilian says it, but an earth science teacher? Add that to Ansel Adams list of sinners. ;-). At least he doesn’t write the Sierra’s.
Thanks for the links minerals, cowboy, kpnwalla, and fritz. And humor DMT.
