The Geology of the North Carolina Coastal Plain
The rocks that underlie North Carolina tell a story of almost 2 billion years of Earth history spanning the forming of two super continents, multiple rifting events, and the collision of multiple terranes. The sediments of the Coastal Plain record the erosion and deposition of the once grand Appalachian Mountain chain that resulted from the last mountain building event in North Carolina.
