A specimen of stibnite. The Stibnite Mining District sits atop the Idaho Batholith, one of the signature features of Idaho’s unique geology.The Idaho Batholith is nearly 14,000 square miles (36,000 km 2) of granite, formed from the collision of the oceanic plate and the North American Plate around 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period.

Since 1919, the Idaho Geological Survey (formerly Bureau of Mines and Geology) has studied and reported on the general and environmental geology of the state. The Survey also studies and reports on the water (both surface and ground), mineral data, and energy assets of the state.
The Wayan Formation is a geological formation in Idaho whose strata date back to the latest Early Cretaceous and the earliest Late Cretaceous.Dinosaur, other reptile, mammal, and micro and macro-floral remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The North and South Menan Buttes in southeastern Idaho are two of the world's largest volcanic tuff cones. The two cones, with four smaller associated cones, align along a north-northwest line and comprise the Menan Complex.

The earliest fossils of Idaho date back to the Precambrian. [1] However, little is known about Idaho's Precambrian life. [2] Among the few known fossils are trace fossils known as "trails" left by ancient worms burrowing through sediments were preserved in what is now Blackrock Canyon. [1] Fossil stromatolites are also known from the state's ...
