Bedrock Geologic Map of South Carolina

_{South Carolina Geological Survey}

South Carolina extends from the young sediments of the Atlantic coast to the ancient folded Precambrian metasediments of the deepest Appalachians. Since the nation's first gold rush in the early 1800s, geologists have explored the state's rocks for resources and for science. This is a good place to learn geology—indeed, the 1886 Charleston earthquake makes South Carolina of interest to seismologists as well as petrologists.

The South Carolina Geological Survey hosts this map and much more information about the rocks and deep history of the Palmetto State.
