| Popis: | The physical history of sedimentary rocks is written in charácters which sometimes baffle the skill of geologists to interpret. This may be because geologists are prone to devote too little time to the study of rocks in the making, and too much to the finished products of sedimentation. It is well to remember that the most unpromising pool or bit of lake shore may hold the key to the most perplexing of these hieroglyphics.A brief review of the history of the various attempts to explain certain curious impressions found on the Niagara dolomites of Western New York will illustrate the need of closer observation and study of some of the phenomena of our ponds and lakes resulting from the interaction of wind and water. |
