Guide to reading geologic maps.

[Triceratops]

Hello folks,

with summer coming to the southern reaches of the planet, and school winding up, I want to get out and start collecting more fossils. So that I can work out the age and locality of potential fossil bearing formations in my area, I would love it if someone could give me a link to a guide to understanding geologic maps, or suggest a book on the topic that might be helpful.

Thanks a lot
