[Elaine Schele]

For all you geology and geography buffs out there - here is a map that
I created that shows the geologic ages of the Maya Region.  The GIS
data that I used to create it came from Christopher D. French and
Christopher J. Schenk, USGS, Denver, CO.  Feel free to download it, if
you like.
