	Giovanni Arduino
		Giovanni Arduino (October 16, 1714 - March 21, 1795) was an Italian geologist who is known as the "Father of Italian Geology,"
		Arduino was a mining specialist who developed possibly the first classification of geological time, based on study of the geology of northern Italy.
		Giovanni Arduino appears to be also a present-day fiction writer from Turin, Italy.

	Giovanni Arduino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Giovanni Arduino (Caprino Veronese, October 16, 1714 - Venice, March 21, 1795) was an Italian geologist who is known as the "Father of Italian Geology."
		The first record of the classification may be a letter dated from 1759 — dates on the web vary.
		His classification used only a few periods: primitive (or primary), secondary and tertiary — some pages on the web add a fourth type, variously quaternary, volcanic or alluvial.

	Tertiary
		Climates during the Tertiary slowly cooled starting off tropical to moderate worldwide in the Paleocene and ending up with extensive glaciations at the end of the period.
		The term Tertiary was first used by Giovanni Arduino, possibly in a letter dated 1759 (dates on the web vary).
		He classified geologic time into primitive (or primary), secondary and tertiary periods based on observations of northern Italy (some pages on the web add a forth type, variously quaternary, volcanic or alluvial).

	Fortis and Basalt in the Ronca Valley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Alberto Fortis was a disciple of Giovanni Arduino, who had been the first to notice the evidence of volcanism in the Veneto.
		Fortis explored the area thoroughly in the 1760s, and he even accompanied Nicolas Desmarest when he toured the area in 1766 and noticed the basalt formations in the Ronca valley and the Alpone valley, between Verona and Vicenza.
		But it was not until 1778, when he was trying to obtain the professorship at Padua made vacant by the death of Arduino's, that Fortis published this rather lavish book on the geology of area around Verona.

		Giovanni Arduino (1714-1795): classified mountain ranges according to their major rock type.
		These were later to be known as Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary.

	Palaeos Cenozoic: The Cenozoic Era
		More than 95% of the Cenozoic era belongs to the Tertiary period, an unreasonable division which reflects the arbitrary manner in which the geological epochs were first named.
		From 1760 to 1770, Giovanni Arduino, inspector of mines in Tuscany and later professor of mineralogy at Padua, set forth the first classification of geological time, dividing the sequence of the Earth's rocks into Primitive, Secondary, and Tertiary.
		During the 18th century the names Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary were given to successive rock strata, the Primary being the oldest, the Tertiary the more recent.

	EO Library: Nicolaus Steno Page 6
		By regarding the lowest rocks as the oldest and the highest rocks as the newest, an Italian miner named Giovanni Arduino classified the rock layers of the Alps into three categories.
		Arduino didn’t relate these rock groups to biblical events, though they became linked in popular use, most people assuming that Secondary rocks resulted from Noah’s Flood.
		As Steno’s principles gained acceptance, however, they began to undermine the biblical chronology he had believed.

	[No title]
		The Florentine poet Giovanni Boccaccio (1313—1375) wrote in 1340 that fossil shells in the Tuscany hills had for- merly lived in the sea that once covered the land.
		In 1760, the term “geology ” was used for the first time in its modern sense by Giovanni Arduino (1714—1795) of Verona, an inspired fieldworker and one of the leading pioneers of modern geology.
		In 1759, after a long period of study in Tuscany, Vicenza and Verona, he set down the fundamental tenets of the modern chronostratigraphical scale.

	Origin of Some Names on the Geologic Time Scale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Name first applied in 1829 by Paul A. Desnoyers, although incorrectly, to Tertiary sediments of the Seine Valley; redefined in 1833 by H.P.I. Repoul.
		First used as a period name by Charles Lyell in 1833; had been used earlier by Giovanni Arduino and others in the eighteenth-century simple division of rocks into Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary.
		From the term Terrain Cretace used in 1882 by d'Omalius d'Halloy for chalk and greensand of northern France.
