		Geologic time is divided into eras, periods, and epochs, and these time units are used to describe the major events in Georgia's geologic history.
		The oldest rocks in Georgia are found in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge provinces and are Proterozoic in age (1 to 1.3 billion years old).
		From the Late Cretaceous period to the Middle Eocene epoch of the Paleogene period (about 40 to 100 million years ago), large quantities of kaolinite, a white alumino-silicate clay resembling chalk, were deposited in middle Georgia.

	Origin of the Indo-European languages: Part VII
		The Acadian* language is related to the Arabian, Aramean and Hebrew languages, and it is classified as a Semitic one.
		Because the Acadian* and Semitic name of the objects indicated by the cuneiform signs never corresponded to the phonetic value of those characters, it was inferred that the people who invented the cuneiform writing could not be Semites.
		This protodynastic epoch is characterized by the fights between the city-states that aspired after the hegemony.

		Each epoch is distinguished from the others by the appearance of new species of graptolites.
		This is an epoch with excellent preservations of brachiopod, coral, trilobite, clam, bryozoan, and crinoid fossils.

		During the Oligocene epoch, grasslands spread, and primates (monkeys) appeared in the Americas, along with toothed whales and mesohippus (middle horses).
		As climates cooled in the Pliocene epoch, the first hominids (australopithecines) appeared and grasslands dominated.
		The Pleistocene epoch was an "Ice Age", when glaciers advanced over the North American continent several times.

	TERRIOT ACADIAN FAMILY: Jehan and Perrine Terriot
		Most of the early Acadians settled on the stretch of the river to the east of the Port-Royal settlement as Jehan and Perrine did.
		This was a time when the Acadians learned to live and survive on their own;...when they developed their sense of independence from any foreign power including France;...when they developed the skills for self-government shedding the oppressive feudal culture and embracing an egalitarian ethic, a full century before the founding of democracy in America and France.
		Add also to this drama, the peaceful, faithful and independent Acadians who intent on creating a future for their families, created a bond of friendship and trust with their native neighbors and continued to persevere in spite of the drama.

	GEOLOGY OF CLINTON COUNTY
		The lowest epoch of the Paleozoic time is the Acadian, the next, the Potsdam sandstone, and the highest is the Permian epoch.
		The Acadian and Potsdam epochs nowhere come to the surface in this county, but the next strata above, viz: The limestones of the Trenton, Chazy and Calciferous epochs, which are exposed in part in Nippenose, Nittany and Sugar Valleys, are the lowest visible strata in the county.
		Much is yet to be done in the development of the ores, which consist of pipe ore, kidney or lump ore, and wash ore, filling caverns or fissures in the limestone, deposited on the surface, or in persistent seams in the rock; the latter, by reason of their persistency, being the most important.

		This collision produced the Acadian Mountains, which rose in present-day New England and the Canadian Maritime Provinces.
		The coarser sediment was deposited closer to the mountains, while the finer sediment was deposited closer to the shoreline.
		This process built alluvial plains between the foothills of the Acadian Mountains and the Catskill Sea shoreline.

		There was a continuation of carbonate deposition, but towards the end of the period (about 360 mya) the Acadian Orogeny occured.This collision between Laurentia and Baltica formed a continental-continental plate boundary (thus closing the Iapetus Ocean).
		As the climate changed again, there is evidence of the iron in the rock oxidizing to form re dediments (hematite--iron ores).
		During the Pliestocene Epoch (early Quaternary) three continental glaciers moved into the northeast section of the state (the first came about 800,000 years ago, the last was here about 24,000 years ago).

		A glance at a map shows a very extensive and irregular coastline, characteristic of glacial sculpting, in the Acadian region, along the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean.

		In the modern world of petroleum exploration, plate tectonics provides useful models to explain the nature of ancient deposition environments, burial of sediments, subsidence of basins, thermal histories of rock masses, hydrocarbon generation, deformation of structures, uplift of mountain masses, and eventual erosion and exposure.
		As these ice sheets moved southward, they profoundly modified Canada's landscapes, creating many thousands of lakes and extensive deposits of sand, clay, and gravel that cover the bedrock in many places.
		Including most of the Paleozoic and thereafter, these Acadian rocks have been subjected to about 500 million years of successive folding, faulting, and relative movement by geological forces acting chiefly from the east, the direction of the present Atlantic Ocean.
