| Chapter 1 Frontispiece: Mt. Hillers, southern Henry Mountains, Utah. The mountain is cored by igneous rock and surrounded by upturned beds of sandstone and shale. G. K. Gilbert coined the term laccolite for these structures in the late 1870s and proposed models for this process of mountain building based on mechanical principles. Photograph by D. D. Pollard. | ||||
