Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 3 In the museum was the skeleton of a prehistoric man that had been found in the breccia of the neighbourhood, associated with the remains of the rhinoceros, elephant, and other extinct mammals. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 2 The osseous breccia found in many parts of England deserves especial attention, as it is highly probable that in a short time it will become an important article of commerce. Familiar Letters on Chemistry The breccia, or agglomerate of the sea-coast, just described, has a white tint, and it lies immediately on the calcareous formation of Cumanacoa, which is of a bluish grey. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 Here the surface consists of a breccia full of fragments of bones; and a similar compound, confusedly mixed with large blocks of limestone, forms the sides of the cavity. Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia, Volume 2 On the sides of canyons the breccia is carved by rain erosion to fantastic pinnacles. The Elements of Geology The hollows in some of the fragments of vesicular lava of which the breccias and conglomerates are composed are partially filled with calc-sinter, being thus half converted into amygdaloids. The Student's Elements of Geology These lavas are conformably associated with strata of breccia and of brown tuff containing lignite. Geological Observations on South America This breccia, or calcareous sandstone, is a local and partial formation, peculiar to the peninsula of Araya, the coasts of Cumana, and Caracas. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 The opening in the surface appears to have been formed by the subsidence of these rocks at the time when they were hurled down, mixed with breccia, into the position which they still retain. Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia, Volume 2 These skeletons were imbedded in a very hard breccia containing also fragments of ivory and numerous flints of very small size. Manners and Monuments of Prehistoric Peoples He remarks that similar breccias with slickensides are observed on a minor scale where rocks of different composition and rigidity are contorted together. The Student's Elements of Geology The gypseous formation, like that of the porphyritic breccia- conglomerate on which it rests, is of inconsiderable breadth; though of greater breadth in Northern than in Central Chile. Geological Observations on South America The slow retreat of the waters has turned into dry ground this extensive plain, in which rises a group of small hills, composed of gypsum and calcareous breccias of very recent formation. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 On the other hand we find portions of even very small bones, and also small fragments of the limestone, dispersed through this cementing substance or breccia. Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia, Volume 2 One white ribbon- like layer of decomposed, pumiceous breccia, was curiously bent into deep unbroken curves, beneath each of the large fragments in the superincumbent stratum. Volcanic Islands The opening of new fissures in the hardest rocks is a frequent accompaniment of such convulsions, and during the consequent vibrations, breccias must often be caused. The Student's Elements of Geology At the western extremity, where it overhangs the Mediterranean, are found chalk, and tertiary breccia formed of fragments of chalk and flint. History of Phoenicia The hill of calcareous breccias, which we have just mentioned as having once been an island in the ancient gulf, is covered with a thick forest of cylindric cactus and opuntia. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 Thirdly, of a subsidence in the breccia and associated rocks and, lastly, of a deposit of red earth similar to the first. Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia, Volume 2 In some places I observed a breccia of quartz, with the fragments almost dissolved in a siliceous paste. Volcanic Islands A new period of repose then ensued, during which various sulphurets were introduced, together with hornstone quartz, by which angular fragments of the older quartz before mentioned were cemented into a breccia. The Student's Elements of Geology It was composed, where I could examine it, of the calcareous breccias of the sea-coast. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 The hill of fort San Antonio, solitary, white, and bare, reflects a great mass of light, and of radiant heat: it is composed of breccia, the strata of which contain numerous fossils. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 This sedimentary floor contained few or no bones except such as had previously belonged to the breccia, as was evident from the minuter cavities having been still filled with that substance. Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia, Volume 2 Yet, according to M. Cordier, the fine pebbles of Suez owe their origin to a breccia formation, or siliceous agglomerate. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 This breccia consists of fragments of shale, sandstone, and limestone, with fossils of the oolite, all united together by a calcareous cement. The Student's Elements of Geology These subterranean vaults are usually filled in part with mud, pebbles, and breccia, in which bones occur belonging to the same assemblage of animals as those characterising the Post-pliocene alluvia above described. The Student's Elements of Geology We observed, that the vegetation was more brilliant, wherever the Alpine limestone was covered by a quartzose sandstone without petrifactions, and very different from the breccia of the sea-coast. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 In some places they lie imbedded in loose earth, but they are usually included in a breccia. The Student's Elements of Geology Loam and breccia of Liege caverns, with human remains. The Student's Elements of Geology Such breccias may have been partly the result of the subaerial waste of an old land-surface which gradually sank down and suffered littoral denudation in proportion as it became submerged. The Student's Elements of Geology Australian cave breccias, with bones of extinct marsupials. The Student's Elements of Geology It is only in some ravines, that we find columnar basalts, somewhat curved, and above them very recent breccia, resembling volcanic tufa. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 Professor Ramsay refers the angular form and large size of the fragments composing these breccias to the action of floating ice in the sea. The Student's Elements of Geology This red under-lyer is, in fact, a great deposit of red sandstone, breccia, and conglomerate with associated porphyry, basalt, and amygdaloid. The Student's Elements of Geology Inclosed in these breccias are many angular and hardened fragments of laminated clay in different states of alteration by heat, and intermixed with volcanic sands. The Student's Elements of Geology Immediately upon the chalk at the bottom of all the tertiary strata in France there generally is a conglomerate or breccia of rolled and angular chalk-flints, cemented by siliceous sand. The Student's Elements of Geology The breccia contain fragments of the same basalts which they cover; and it is asserted that marine petrifactions are observed in them. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 This breccia has accordingly been considered by Professor Quenstedt, and other German geologists of high authority, as the newest or uppermost part of the Trias. The Student's Elements of Geology When all the angular fragments are of volcanic rocks the mass is usually termed a volcanic breccia. The Student's Elements of Geology Here numerous proofs are seen of submarine eruptions, by which the argillaceous and sandy strata were invaded and cut through, and tufaceous breccias formed.
