St. Francois Mountains Part IX

The 1.5-billion-year-old St. Francois Mountains are a geological rarity. Formed by volcanoes hundreds of millions of years before the Rockies and Appalachian mountains formed, the St. Francois Mountains are some of the oldest in North America. In fact, the mountains have been around 4x longer than trees have existed. Taum Sauk Mountain and its neighboring knobs are some of the only areas in the U.S. that were volcanic islands in the Paleozoic Era seas and were never submerged. The mountains are so old and worn they've been called roots of mountains. At one point they were twice as tall as they are today.
