Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 3 "Apollodorus" to "Aral" Gondwanaland, however, did not long survive, and the portion which lay between India and South Africa sank beneath the waves in Tertiary times. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" During the Tertiary period the great volcanoes of the Andes were formed, and there were smaller eruptions in the Sierras. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 5 "Arculf" to "Armour, Philip" Although there is no valid reason against the existence of Tertiary man, it must be confessed that the evidence in favour of the belief is of a very inconclusive and unconvincing kind. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" Had our time been that of the early Tertiary or early Mesozoic, our views as to the question of origin of species might have been very different.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 3 "Apollodorus" to "Aral" In the south, in Syria, Arabia and the peninsula of India, none but the oldest rocks are folded, and the Upper Palaeozoic, the Mesozoic and the Tertiary beds lie almost horizontally upon them. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" But that in Tertiary times there was a high interior zone of crystalline rocks is indicated by the character of the Eocene beds in the southern Apennines. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 2 "Anjar" to "Apollo" It is fairly certain that about the middle of the Tertiary period the northern hemisphere possessed a temperate climate, such that even the polar regions were habitable. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" Lucchese saw this place now as a beautiful field for Tertiary labor. Brother Francis Less than the least Generally, however, the Cretaceous beds do not appear, and the greater part of southern Arabia seems to be formed of Alveolina and nummulite limestones of Tertiary age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 3 "Apollodorus" to "Aral" In the northern unfolded region great flows of basic lava lie directly upon the Cambrian and Ordovician beds of Siberia, but are certainly in part of Tertiary age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" The fishes of the Palaeozoic age are in no respect the ancestors of the reptiles of the Secondary age, nor does man descend from the mammals which preceded him in the Tertiary age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 2 "Anjar" to "Apollo" In his earlier scientific works, which date from 1835, he described the Tertiary and Cretaceous formations of France, Belgium and England, and dealt especially with the distribution of fossils geographically and in sequence. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" It was his duty to oversee these "Tertiaries," and give them instruction. Brother Francis Less than the least Now we come to the last era, the Tertiary, the age of the mammals. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight Here again there are no marine beds of Mesozoic or Tertiary age, while plant-bearing deposits belonging to the Angara series are known. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" The Apennines, indeed, consist almost entirely of Mesozoic and Tertiary beds, like the outer zones of the Alps. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 2 "Anjar" to "Apollo" The European record stops here: in the American Tertiaries, the series of ancestral equine forms is continued into the Eocene. The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer The "Tertiaries," or "The brethren of the Militia of Jesus Christ," as someone called them, multiplied to such an extent that very soon they attracted more attention than was altogether pleasant. Brother Francis Less than the least Now let us walk along the shore, and try to read the story these Tertiary beds tell us. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight Between India and China there is a broad belt in which marine deposits of Mesozoic and Tertiary age are well developed. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" On the Italian border of this land there was raised a mountain chain with an inner crystalline zone and an outer zone of Mesozoic and Tertiary beds. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 2 "Anjar" to "Apollo" The Kainozoic, or Tertiary, is the age of Mammals and of Man. The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer Little Rose, though not actually a contemporary of Francis, is always reckoned in as one of the first Tertiaries. Brother Francis Less than the least But times have changed since the Wealden days, and the life of the Tertiary times has a much more modern appearance. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight North of the folded belt, and including the greater part of Siberia, Mongolia and northern China, lies another area which is, in general, free from any important folding of Mesozoic or Tertiary age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" In Calabria the chain consists chiefly of crystalline and schistose rocks; it is the Mesozoic and Tertiary zone which has here been sunk beneath the sea. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 2 "Anjar" to "Apollo" Yet all this is purely arbitrary, and dependent merely on a succession of genera more and more closely resembling the modern horse being procurable from successive Tertiary deposits often widely separated in time and place. The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer Tertiary beds cover a considerable area, especially in the Amazonian depression. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 4 "Bradford, William" to "Brequigny, Louis" This slope of Tertiary strata is deeply cut into by streams, which form ravines and picturesque creeks, as Wootton Creek, 200 feet below the level of the surrounding country. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight The overlying Tertiary series includes nummulitic beds and valuable seams of coal. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" The Tertiary beds generally lie nearly horizontal and form the lower hills, but in the Madi plateau and the Schwaner range they rise to a height of several thousand feet. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 3 "Borgia, Lucrezia" to "Bradford, John" Finally the Tertiary has three main divisions; the Eocene, or "dawn of the recent," Miocene, or "less recent," and Pliocene, or "more recent." The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer No later marine deposits have been found either in the eastern Andes or in the plains of Bolivia, but freshwater beds of Tertiary and later date occupy a wide area. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 2 "Bohemia" to "Borgia, Francis" We now come to an era called the Tertiary. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight Compared with the Gondwana coal of the peninsula of India the Tertiary coal seams of Assam are remarkable for their purity and their extraordinary thickness. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 7 "Arundel, Thomas" to "Athens" The low-lying country between the mountain ranges is covered for the most part by Tertiary and Quaternary deposits, but Cretaceous beds occur at several localities. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 3 "Borgia, Lucrezia" to "Bradford, John" If, now, we study the constitution of the earth's crust so far as it has yet been penetrated, we find it divided up into periods called Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. Nature's Miracles, Volume 1 Familiar Talks on Science—World-Building and Life. Earth, Air and Water. Large quantities of bole occur as red partings between the successive lava flows of the Tertiary volcanic series in the north of Ireland and the west of Scotland. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 2 "Bohemia" to "Borgia, Francis" Then follow the Primary era, or, as it is generally called, the Palæozoic; the Secondary or Mesozoic; and the Tertiary or Kainozoic. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight Concealed in part by later deposits, this ancient mountain chain extends from Castelnaudary to the neighbourhood of Valence, where it sinks suddenly beneath the Tertiary and recent deposits of the valley of the Rhone. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 7 "Cerargyrite" to "Charing Cross" The Tertiary system includes conglomerates, sandstones, limestones and marls, which appear to be of Eocene, Oligocene and Miocene age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 3 "Borgia, Lucrezia" to "Bradford, John" We now come to the last or "Tertiary" period, which brings us to the top earth. Nature's Miracles, Volume 1 Familiar Talks on Science—World-Building and Life. Earth, Air and Water. A beauty that existed in the Tertiary epoch—three hundred thousand years ago. Lafcadio Hearn But Secondary and Tertiary are still in constant use. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight Hill, there is but little geological evidence of any Tertiary or later connexion between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific, excepting, perhaps, a shallow opening during the Eocene period. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 6 "Celtes, Konrad" to "Ceramics" Volcanic rocks of Tertiary and late Cretaceous age are extensively developed, especially in the M�ller Mountains. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Slice 3 "Borgia, Lucrezia" to "Bradford, John" From the position that the coal measures occupy, being entirely under the Secondary and Tertiary formations, it will be observed that they are very old. Nature's Miracles, Volume 1 Familiar Talks on Science—World-Building and Life. Earth, Air and Water. Tertiary beds are found, especially near the coast. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 5 "Cat" to "Celt" In some parts of the world strata are found transitional between the Secondary and Tertiary. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight The Tertiary system may be conveniently divided into two divisions. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 6 "Celtes, Konrad" to "Ceramics" However, when we go back still further and look at the earlier Tertiary remains, we find the fauna becoming less complex. The History of the European Fauna One of the beds of the Eocene Tertiary Period; so called, because it is used for making pottery. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology The cave of Lunelviel near Montpellier is the most important of those which have been hollowed in limestones of the Tertiary age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 5 "Cat" to "Celt" Alum Bay takes its name from the alum formerly manufactured from the Tertiary clays. The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight In the Secondary period Ammonoids were very abundant, both in genera and species and in individuals, and with few local exceptions none are known to have survived even to the commencement of the Tertiary. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 6 "Celtes, Konrad" to "Ceramics" Some of our widely-distributed forms are probably of very great antiquity, and may have spread to distant lands in early Tertiary times, when a different state of the geographical conditions enabled them to do so. The History of the European Fauna Two divisions of the Tertiary Period which are the most modern, and of which the largest part of the fossil shells are of recent species. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology These are sometimes called Quaternary, under the mistaken idea that they belong to an age succeeding the Tertiary period. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 5 "Cat" to "Celt" This is a circumstance of considerable interest from a distributional point of view, as affording one more instance of the intimate relationship between the Tertiary mammalian fauna of India and the existing mammals of Africa. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 4 "Carnegie Andrew" to "Casus Belli" The Belemnitidae appear first in the Upper Trias, attain their maximum development in the Jurassic rocks, and are not continued into the Tertiary period, though represented in the Eocene by a few allied forms. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 6 "Celtes, Konrad" to "Ceramics" But not only must the existing species of animals be dealt with: the extinct ones, too, at least those which have lived in Europe during late Tertiary times, will be useful for our inquiries. The History of the European Fauna In strictness of reasoning, however, the author cannot exclude the Cretaceous or Tertiary periods from the possible duration of the interval during which the elevation may have taken place. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology These highlands exhibit very considerable evidences of volcanic activity both in remote geological periods and also since the Tertiary epoch. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 5 "Cat" to "Celt" We may then safely multiply this number by forty, for the length of the Tertiary period. The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science By far the greater part of Central America and Mexico is covered by Cretaceous and Tertiary deposits, both sedimentary and volcanic; but the foundation on which they rest is exposed at intervals. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 6 "Celtes, Konrad" to "Ceramics" But what I may call the Oriental migrations spread to every corner of Europe and certainly lasted throughout the whole of the Tertiary Era. The History of the European Fauna A provincial name for a soft green sandstone, associated with marl and conglomerates, belonging to the Miocene Tertiary Period, extensively developed in the lower country of Switzerland. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology Enormous quantities of borax, already exploited, and of nitrate of soda, are known to be present in the surrounding country, the former as almost pure borate of lime in Tertiary lake sediments. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 1 "Calhoun" to "Camoens" It will then be quite safe to assume that the Palæozoic period was three times as long as the Mesozoic and Tertiary together. The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science London Basin occupies a triangular depression in the Chalk which is filled up with clays and gravels of Tertiary and later age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 4 "England" to "English Finance" I have now given some reasons for the belief that several different migrations of animals entered the British Islands in later Tertiary times. The History of the European Fauna Plate I. Map showing the extent of surface in Europe which has at one period or another been covered by the sea since the commencement of the deposition of the older or Eocene Tertiary strata. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology Basalt and tuff, probably of Tertiary age, form the great mass of the Cameroon mountain, also the island of Fernando Po. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 1 "Calhoun" to "Camoens" The beginning of the sixth day may with nearly equal certainty be referred to that of the Tertiary era. The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science It was not until quite late in Tertiary time that these islands began to assume anything like their present form. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 4 "England" to "English Finance" This becomes the more evident when we examine the remarkable results obtained by the late Professor Heer, who first described the Tertiary plant-beds in North Greenland. The History of the European Fauna In the Tertiary strata.—The tertiary formations were deposited when the physical geography of the northern hemisphere had been entirely altered. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology In many instances the Tertiary formation, which occurs between Esna and Cairo, unconformably overlies the Cretaceous, the Lower Eocene being absent. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 1 "Edwardes" to "Ehrenbreitstein" In a brown coal deposit of Tertiary, or at least of "interglacial" age—whatever that may mean in Switzerland—he found some fragments of wood so interlaced as to resemble wattle or basket-work. The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science When again the volcanic forces became active, it was in the early Tertiary era; the evidences for this lie outside the English border. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 4 "England" to "English Finance" But if such had been the case, we ought to have evidence of the occurrence of some of these species in the newer Tertiary deposits along the west coasts of the British Islands. The History of the European Fauna Then the Secondaries went out to lose themselves in a larger throng of Tertiaries, and the group split randomly to take the various underground highways to their homes. Check and Checkmate The fluvio-marine deposits of the Upper Eocene and Oligocene formations contain an interesting mammalian fauna, proving that the African continent formed a centre of radiation for the mammalia in early Tertiary times. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 1 "Edwardes" to "Ehrenbreitstein" It is not pretended that the principal sections called Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary are of equivalent importance, or that the subordinate groups comprise monuments relating to equal portions of time or of the earth's history. The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science In exactly the same way the whole of the south-east of the island appears to have been covered uniformly with gently 411 dipping beds of Tertiary sands and clays, beneath which the Cretaceous strata dipped. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 4 "England" to "English Finance" In some groups, such as Reptiles and Amphibia, there are no representatives at all, but no doubt a larger number of species existed there in earlier Tertiary times. The History of the European Fauna But the caves of Britain shew that very formidable Felidæ roamed here in the Later Tertiary Era. The Romance of Natural History, Second Series Miocene strata are absent in the southern Tertiary areas, but are present at Moghara and in the north. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 1 "Edwardes" to "Ehrenbreitstein" In the Tertiary and Modern eras, the mammalia, with man, have assumed the highest or dominant position in nature. The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science Lying upon the Cretaceous rocks in the S.E. of England are the two Tertiary basins of London and Hampshire, separated by the dissected anticline of the Weald. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 4 "England" to "English Finance" We have evidence, therefore, of an eastward migration among the land and freshwater mollusca in later Tertiary times, but not of a westward one from Siberia. The History of the European Fauna At the meeting of the Ethnological Society just held, there seems to have been an increasing tendency to admit the hypothesis of the continuance of the Mammalia of the Tertiary into the human era. The Romance of Natural History, Second Series Examples are known from the Tertiary volcanic districts of the Rhine.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 4 "England" to "English Finance" But apart from the fact that the Red Crag and these Baltic deposits are the oldest of the upper Tertiary beds containing arctic shells, there is no evidence that they are contemporaneous. The History of the European Fauna Yet there is no doubt of the identity of a species found abundantly in Britain in the Tertiary deposits, and named by Owen Bos primigenius, with the Urus of Cæsar. The Romance of Natural History, Second Series With the exception of a few species from the Solenhofen lithographic Oolite, fossil Diptera belong to the Tertiary Period, during which the members of this order attained a high degree of development. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 5 "Dinard" to "Dodsworth" It is almost unnecessary to say this period corresponds with the Tertiary or Cainozoic era of geologists.

The History of the European Fauna During the early portion of the Tertiary the whole country, "from the Arctic circle to the Isthmus of Darien," was occupied with lakes, some of which were immense in size. The Galaxy, June 1877 Vol. XXIII.—June, 1877.—No. 6. As marine Tertiary deposits are found conformably overlying these Cretaceous strata, Professor Dana is of opinion that the great elevation of this part of America did not begin till early Tertiary times. Island Life Or the Phenomena and Causes of Insular Faunas and Floras The positive evidence of man's existence during the Tertiary period, are facts which must firmly convince every one—who is willing to be convinced—of the great antiquity of man. Bible Myths and their Parallels in other Religions Being a Comparison of the Old and New Testament Myths and Miracles with those of the Heathen Nations of Antiquity Considering also their Origin and Meaning The Tertiary rocks in Europe yield the same kind of secrets. Earth and Sky Every Child Should Know Easy studies of the earth and the stars for any time and place From these remarks by our most eminent British geologist, we gather that in early Tertiary times much of the present area of Switzerland was either a sea or a large freshwater lake. The History of the European Fauna On the western side of this depression there are red sandstones with coal-seams, possibly Tertiary; the floor and the eastern side consist chiefly of ancient crystalline and schistose rocks.

Island Life Or the Phenomena and Causes of Insular Faunas and Floras Franciscan nuns have always been very numerous; there are now about 150 convents of the various observances of the Second Order, in every part of the world, besides innumerable institutions of Tertiaries. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 4 "Cincinnatus" to "Cleruchy" On the other hand, the Secondary and Tertiary formations of the northern shores and islands of the Mediterranean are generally characterised by the highly-inclined, flexured, and folded position of the strata. Volcanoes: Past and Present The Mediterranean, however, throughout the Tertiary period—at any rate since miocene times—must have had almost constant communication with the Atlantic. The History of the European Fauna I shall not, however, so oppose myself to the views of our leading geologists as to retain here the names of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary rocks. Modern Painters, Volume IV (of V) It possesses vast beds of coal of Tertiary age; and these, no less than the great extent of alluvial deposits in its valleys, indicate great changes of level in recent geological times.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 3 "Chitral" to "Cincinnati" All these latter, except Ulmus and Planera, have been found also in the Eastern-Australian Tertiaries, and we may therefore consider that at this period the northern temperate element in both floras was identical. Island Life Or the Phenomena and Causes of Insular Faunas and Floras In the north both the Cretaceous and Tertiary beds of this zone are limited in extent, but towards the south Mesozoic beds, which are at least in part Cretaceous, form a band of considerable width.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 2 "Chicago, University of" to "Chiton" As the volcanic tuff-beds are intermingled with the Upper Tertiary strata, it is inferred that the first outbursts of volcanic forces occurred when the region was still beneath the waters of the ocean. Volcanoes: Past and Present Tertiary strata, it should be explained, had never hitherto yielded any fossils bordering on the human type, but this now famous skeleton was unmistakably akin to the human. A History of Science, Volume 5(of 5) Aspects Of Recent Science This period includes the Tertiary and the Quaternary and the recent sub-periods.
