1 Day in the Life of the Granite State

MINI-COMICS / SCIENCE

Reading notes to the book by Michael Caduto (links below). 

⏲ This comic maps 650,000,000 years onto a single 24-hour day, to better show geological sequences & historical relationships…

🦕(Labyrinthodonts + dimetrodons + ice ages, oh my!)

ADAPTED WITH PERMISSION from: 
Michael Caduto: A Time Before New Hampshire: The Story of a Land and Native Peoples (University Press of New England, 2003)

In terms of time periods covered, this is probably the most wide-ranging 8-page mini I’ve ever drawn!  I had to leave out a TON of names and details to fit the story into 8 pages.  For much, much more information about any of the above panels, please refer to pages 15-45 of Caduto’s book.

Special thanks:

… to Michael Caduto for his writing first of all, and for granting permission to adapt his text in this format.  For info about Michael’s educational programs & other activities, check out his website: www.p-e-a-c-e.net


Q) If you could pick any one of these panels to visit (via totally safe round-trip time machine), which would it be?  Why?
