	Geology and History of Mount Desert Island
		The more recent (200 million years) geological history of coastal Maine is dominated by a series of ice ages, and the weathering of the glaciers spawned by these ice ages.
		Coastal Maine shows only the evidence of the most recent ice age, 40,000 to 12,000 years ago, because it destroyed any evidence of earlier glacial periods.
		Signs of this most recent ice age and of glacial weathering can be seen everywhere on Mount Desert Island, indeed the very shape of the island, its mountains, valleys, and bodies of water are all due to glacial weathering.
