EXOTIC TERRANE

27 minutes/Grades 7-Adult

Produced by Doug Prose, Narrated by John Forsythe, Sponsored
by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Geological Service

The geological term "exotic terrane" refers to a group of
rocks that has attached itself to a tectonic plate and
migrated away from its place of origin. This fascinating
program documents the latest geological discoveries in the
Pacific Northwest, where fossils of an equatorial coral reef
are being found along the ridges of Hells Canyon in eastern
Oregon.

EXOTIC TERRANE contains the dramatic story of the scientists
who pieced together the history of these rocks, and offers an
explanation of the tectonic activity that makes such exotic
displacements possible. With Study Guide.
