Paleontology and geology
Few Triassic deposits are exposed at the surface in Georgia. Although not shown on this map, some igneous intrusions are seen in the region around Stone Mountain, just east of Atlanta. These intrusions formed when splits in the crust, caused by tectonic activity, filled with molten material. No Triassic fossils are known from Georgia.

Virtual Museum of Fossils: Geosciences, at Georgia's Valdosta State University, presents an interactive virtual museum of invertebrate and vertebrate fossil specimens. Explore the collection by animal, or by time period from Precambrian to Quaternary. Maps are detailed and include ecosystem distribution. Fossil photographs, many showing multiple views, list information about where the fossil was found, and how it is categorized taxonomically. Some pages feature a drawing of the animal's skeleton showing the fossil bone in red.
