a landscape unique on earth. The
precambrian St. Francois Mountains were formed through volcanic
and intrusive activity nearly 1.5 billion years ago.
By comparison, the Appalachians started forming about
460 million years ago and the Rockies a mere 70 million years
ago. When the Appalachian Mountains started forming, the
St. Francois range was already twice as old as the Appalachians
are today. This range is one of the oldest exposures of igneous
rock in North America.
