Scale:
The work that we have documented on this trip highlights just a portion of the indelible legacy that James H. Trexler, Jr. had on our understanding of the tectonic evolution of western North America. His work and ideas will no doubt continue to guide and influence future thought on Late Paleozoic tectonics in Nevada.
Jim Trexler was heavily involved in the Nevada Petroleum and Geothermal Society for much of the history of the society. Over the past 30+ years Jim and his colleagues contributed greatly to our understanding of tectonics and sedimentation in Nevada, and his loss is deeply felt by us and our community. This trip highlights some of Jim’s work on the Late Paleozoic tectonic story in northern and central Nevada. This work is continuing to evolve, with Jim’s legacy to guide and inspire us.
