	Geology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In China, the polymath Shen Kua (1031 - 1095) formulated a hypothesis for the process of land formation: based on his observation of fossil shells in a geological stratum in a mountain hundreds of miles from the ocean, he inferred that the land was formed by erosion of the mountains and by deposition of silt.
		By the 1700s Jean-Etienne Guettard and Nicolas Desmarest hiked central France and recorded their observations on geological maps; Guettard recorded the first observation of the volcanic origins of this part of France.
		William Smith (1769-1839) drew some of the first geological maps and began the process of ordering rock strata (layers) by examining the fossils contained in them.

	Palaeos Timescale: Detailed Geological Timescale
		The Geological Time-Scale is hierarchical, consisting of (from smallest to largest units) ages, epochs, periods, eras and eons.
		The Geological time-scale is usually represented as a vertical table to be read from the bottom up; the oldest eras and periods at the bottom, the youngest at the top.
		Geologic Ages of Earth History - Jeff Poling - a detailed and up to date chart showing every era, period, epoch and age of the geological time scale, together with time when began and during in millions of years.

	GEOLOGICAL TIME SCALE
		The numerically calibrated geologic time scale has been continuously refined since approximately the 1930s (e.g., Holmes, 1937), although the amount of change with each revision has become smaller over the decades (see fig.
		The overall duration and relative length of these large geologic intervals is unlikely to change much, but the precise numbers may "wiggle" a bit as a result of new data.
		Geologic time is finely subdivided through most of the Phanerozoic (see Harland et al.

	September/October Geological Society of America Bulletin media highlights
		Boulder, CO, USA -- Geology topics of interest include: Loma Prieta earthquake aftershocks (1989-1990) reveal the fault zone had the strength of normal crust instead of being abnormally weak; reconstruction of the Chicxulub ejecta plume; and analysis of the Araguainha peak-ring impact crater in central Brazil.
		The origin of chaotic rock bodies or mélanges is commonly attributed to tectonic disruption and mixing of originally coherent sequences, gravitational submarine down-slope movements and shale diapirism, caused by the rising towards the sea floor of overpressured, fluid-permeated fine grained sediments.
		The recognition of the role played by each of these processes in the geological record is problematic, due to the strong facies convergence of their products and to the fact that these mechanisms can coexist and interact in a complex way.

	Geology of the Wessex Coast - www.soton.ac.uk/~imw/
		Geological fieldwork involves some level of risk; one part of this may come from chance events that are unpredictable and little can be done about it; another part of the risk, however, can be greatly reduced by awareness of hazards and good judgement based on experience.
		Individuals and leaders should carefully consider the safety aspects on the occasion of their visit and in bad conditions be prepared to cancell or modify part or all of the field trip as is necessary for safety.
		Descriptions of geological features, geomorphological features, discussion of coast erosion, coastal retreat, wave action, storms, storm surges, floods, coastal history and sea defences are given here in general terms for academic and educational purposes only and should stimulate discussion and dispute.

	Lecture 2 - Geological Time
		Most geologists and especially paleontologists suffer from "physics envy" and are susceptible to bludgeoning by math and physics wielded by a strong physicist such as Kelvin.
		In Kelvin's 1868 address on geological time he did just that and kept a lot of geologists from following the idea that the Earth was very very ancient.
		Nor would he probably be prepared to affirm or deny that the extraordinary conditions which reside in the center of the sun may not set free a portion of this energy."
