Bedrock Ecology Bandana by Fruit DesignThe Appalachians arose from the African plate slow motion smashing into the N. American plate during formation of Pangea (400 250MYA). Forged beneath unimaginable pressure & heat our mountains are roots of landforms taller than the Himalayas Weathered into igneous, volcanic, metamorphic & sedimentary terranes. Our bandana sports a mineralogical cartoon of this surficial geology, including the French Broad River for scale & geo reference.
