O knihe
Excerpt from Catalogue of Californian Fossils: Parts II, III, IV, and V
The palaeontology of California differs from that of the States north Of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers in the existence Of more Of the Neozoic formations (including Miocene, Pliocene, and Quaternary) than those Of older date, Showing that the elevation of this coast above the ocean was chie¿y since the Mesozoic ages, and much Of it took place as late as the Quaternary, or a little before the era of man.
The consequence Of this late uplift is that nearly all the coast ranges and the low foothills of the Sierra are covered by strata, in some places thousands of feet thick, and often containing solid beds Of fossils several feet thick, Of which the greater part are identical with living Species, besides others, Of forms similar to those now living farther north or south, but extinct on this part of the coast.
