Privately, West's geologists suspect an even greater age for this remarkable Egyptian effigy.... This is required to produce the "advanced state of water weathering" they detect (in ...

Within a few years most of them had capitulated (Sedgwick recanted in public) and uniformitarianism carried the day in England. Lyell had achieved the " ...

Identification of flora and fauna, and regional geological studies indicate an Eocene age and a polar latitude for these ancient forests. Field work from the summer of 1976 onwards led to the recognition of alligator and crocodile bones ... origin. Especially before the adoption of the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics in the 1960s, tropical fossils found near modern glaciers posed an awkward set of problems for geologists. New field work since 1970 has shattered the easy illusion that drifting land masses explain' finding the tropics in the Arctic. It is now plain that since late ...

Thus Carey was basing a theory on a theory, thus begging the question'. Polls of geologists ran so strongly in favour of continental drift that the earth scientists declared 1959 as International Geophysical Year (IGY) and settled soon thereafter on Pangaea, the primordial continent ...

Warren Hunt In the early nineteenth century the geological profession set catastrophism aside in favour of gradualist solutions to virtually all problems. Consequently, it was electrifying when, in 1961, Dietz and Grieve, respected geologists of the Geological Survey of Canada ... proposed an asteroidal impact to explain the Vredefort structure in South Africa. As it turns out, their attribution is not supported by myriad detailed facts that have subsequently been revealed by intensive research. Nevertheless, the stimulation of research into "astroblemes," as they called the phenomenon, has been important and productive. This paper is one of ...
