- W1984551964 abstract "The geological records of the Scottish sedimentary formations, with the exception of the oldest and most highly metamorphosed, are exceedingly fragmentary and imperfect. Wave after wave of crust-motion, with long intervals during which the erosive agencies had been actively at work, have disturbed or destroyed our aqueous rocks. The anticlinal facings have been planed down, just as a joiner would plane down a rough and uneven surface, and the whole formations have been thrown into a series of parallel and alternating beds, having a north-east and south-west strike, and broken through by igneous rocks of various ages and character. In the middle of these formations, as in a trough or hollow, repose the carboniferous beds (the most perfect of the series), or such of them as have escaped denudation, and stretch out in a diagonal direction across the great valley of central Scotland. These beds, being prolonged towards the south-west, meet the Irish formations belonging to the same epoch, which likewise stretch obliquely across that country, and consist principally of an enormous mass of limestone resting on hard gritty slates, and overlaid with the upper Coal Measures. There is no formation which so much illustrates the changes, the alternations, the vicissitudes which the surface of the earth has undergone, as the Carboniferous series. This may arise from the circumstance, that it is the great storehouse of those minerals which have contributed to our comfort, refinement, and civilisation, and that we are therefore better acquainted with it than any other.
