Tertiary strata, which rest
directly on Lower Lias

and
then occur successively, in
descending order, Upper and
Lower Trias, Carboniferous
schists (diorites intercalated),
conglomerates, mica-slate,
and, finally, gneiss. It is
occasionally seen that the
Tertiary beds* of the great
plains of Prussia, which stretch
uninterruptedly from the
mountains of Saxony, Magde-
burg, and Brunswick, north-
wards to the sea, repose on the
Muschelkalk.
Sir R. I. Murchisonf dis-
covered that on the northern
edge of the Bavarian and
adjacent Alps, the upper part
of the Eocene formation (to-
gether with some Miocene
strata) was either never de-
posited or had been swept
away

and he justly con-
siders their absence an im-
portant fact. The Tertiaries
of these countries have no
connexion with the Chalk.
General Delia Marmora £
met, near Pianedda and Go-
nessa, as well as on Mount
Cardiga, in Sardinia, as also
at Goni and Terra Segada, in
the same island, with Num-
mulite-limestones and sand-
stones incumbent horizontally
on the upturned edges of
Silurian schists.
The Lower Eocene §, with
Nummulites, forms the roof

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
