Theory of the Earth, Volume 1 (of 4) The argillaceous earth at the bottom of the pans was made hard to prevent the escape of the water by percolation. Voyages of Samuel De Champlain — Volume 01 The red sandstone is argillaceous, with compact white gypsum or alabaster, very beautiful. The Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, Oregon and California To which is Added a Description of the Physical Geography of California, with Recent Notices of the Gold Region from the Latest and Most Authentic Sources The argillaceous and lignite-bearing strata, more than 100 feet in thickness, rest unconformably on highly inclined and sometimes vertical Miocene molasse. The Antiquity of Man The feldspar approximates sometimes to vitreous feldspar when disseminated in very thin laminae in a mass of granular diabasis, decomposed, and emitting a strong argillaceous smell. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 That inflammable, vegetable, and animal substances, in a subtilised state, had subsided in the sea, being mixed more or less with argillaceous, calcareous, and other earthy substances in an impalpable state. Theory of the Earth, Volume 1 (of 4) The hills are composed of an argillaceous schist. Successful Exploration Through the Interior of Australia The island lies between two of these ridges, three or four hundred yards apart, of which that on the right bank is composed entirely of red argillaceous sandstone, with thin layers of fibrous gypsum. The Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, Oregon and California To which is Added a Description of the Physical Geography of California, with Recent Notices of the Gold Region from the Latest and Most Authentic Sources July 30.—The geological formation of the country we had passed through, consisted in the higher ranges of an argillaceous rock, of quartz, or of ironstone. Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland from Adelaide to King George's Sound in the Years 1840-1: Sent By the Colonists of South Australia, with the Sanction and Support of the Government: Including an Account of the Manners and Customs of the Aborigines and the State of Their Relations with Europeans — Complete Box-tree flats, of more or less extent, were intercepted by abrupt barren craggy hills composed of sandstone, which seemed to rest on layers of argillaceous rock. Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia : from Moreton Bay to Port Essington, a distance of upwards of 3000 miles, during the years 1844-1845 The strata there, as in Berwickshire, which is their continuation to the east, are remarkably horizontal for Scotland; and they consist of alternated beds of sand-stone and marl, or argillaceous and micaceous strata. Theory of the Earth, Volume 1 (of 4) The argillaceous, or clay rocks, including muds, clays, and shales. The Elements of Geology Below this, and in place of the shales, are talc-schists, jasper, and hornstone; and at the bottom, instead of the siliceous and argillaceous sandstones, are quartzite and gneiss. The Student's Elements of Geology This is done in the tub by constantly stirring with a shovel, and changing the water as it becomes charged with the floating argillaceous, or clayey, particles. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students The porphyritic gneiss, where now exposed to the air, seems to withstand decomposition remarkably well; and I could see no signs of any tendency to the production of argillaceous masses like those here described. Geological Observations on South America They must consider, that here are immense bodies of those combustible strata, under hundreds, perhaps thousands, of fathoms of sand-stone, iron-stone, argillaceous and calcareous strata. Theory of the Earth, Volume 1 (of 4) This argillaceous earth mixed with mustard oil is locally used for clay and when rose-leaves and perfumes are used, it makes a tolerable wash-ball. The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 13 Thus, in Glen Tilt, in Scotland, alternating strata of limestone and argillaceous schist come in contact with a mass of granite. The Student's Elements of Geology In the island of Espiritu Santo many human bones have also been picked up painted with an oxide of argillaceous iron. Manners and Monuments of Prehistoric Peoples For convenience' sake, I will call the marly rock by the name given to it by the inhabitants, namely, Tosca-rock; and the reddish argillaceous earth, Pampean mud. Geological Observations on South America If this is the case, there can be no difficulty in conceiving a stratum, which appears to be argillaceous or marly in the plains, to be found jasper in the Oural mountains. Theory of the Earth, Volume 1 (of 4) It is formed in strata of Old Red Sandstone, volcanic tufa, ignis fatuus, and bicarbonate of hornblende, superimposed upon argillaceous shale, and contains the prints of prehistoric man. Mark Twain's Letters — Volume 4 (1886-1900) It is not uncommon to meet with an argillaceous rock having the same composition, without the slaty cleavage, which may be called argillite. The Student's Elements of Geology On the shores of Lake Lagoda have been found some implements of argillaceous schist, in Carelia and in Finland tools made of slate and schist, often adorned with clumsy figures of men or of animals. Manners and Monuments of Prehistoric Peoples There is much pale brown, soft argillaceous gypsum; and there were some intercalated green beds which I had not time to reach. Geological Observations on South America Two of these streams of basalt were separated from each other by a layer of argillaceous wacke, which could be traced passing into partially altered scoriae. Volcanic Islands On a fourth occasion six large worms were placed on argillaceous mud mixed with sand firmly pressed down, and they disappeared, except the extreme tips of the tails of two of them, in 40 minutes. The formation of vegetable mould through the action of worms, with observations on their habits Such a vein may then be filled with clay or sand, and afterwards re-opened, the new rent dividing the argillaceous deposit, and allowing a quantity of rubbish to fall down. The Student's Elements of Geology The damp argillaceous soil gave way under their feet. In Search of the Castaways; or the Children of Captain Grant At eighty miles from the coast, in a cliff thus composed, there were a few layers of ferruginous sandstone, and of an argillaceous sandstone with concretions of marl like those in the Pampas. Geological Observations on South America The chief part consists of red decomposing scoriae, associated with various kinds of tuff and yellow argillaceous beds, full of broken crystals, those of augite being particularly large. Volcanic Islands The accumulation during 29 years, on good, argillaceous pasture- land over the Chalk at Down, amounted to 2.2 inches in 10 years. The formation of vegetable mould through the action of worms, with observations on their habits In the altered mass the argillaceous beds are hardened, the limestone is saccharoid, the grits quartzose, and in the midst of them is a thin layer of an imperfect granite. The Student's Elements of Geology The soil of this vast depression is entirely argillaceous, and therefore impermeable, so that the waters remain there and make of it a region very difficult to cross during the hot season. Michael Strogoff Or, The Courier of the Czar The minerals retain their positions in folia ranging in the usual direction; and fractured quartz veins may be traced from the solid rock, running for some distance into the softened, mottled, highly coloured, argillaceous mass. Geological Observations on South America This ridge consists, as before remarked, of grey feldspathic lavas, and of red, brecciated, argillaceous tuffs, like the beds of the upper coloured series. Volcanic Islands To these conglomerates succeed argillaceous and calcareous marls and limestones, containing Lower Miocene shells and bones of mammalia, the higher beds of which sometimes alternate with volcanic tuff of contemporaneous origin. The Student's Elements of Geology Junction of granite and argillaceous schist in Glen Tilt. 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. The Student's Elements of Geology The uppermost part, judging from the rocks near the famous silver mine of Huantajaya, consists of laminated, impure, argillaceous, purplish-grey limestone, associated, I believe, with some purple sandstone. Geological Observations on South America In Figure 628 I have represented carefully the lamination of a coarse argillaceous schist which I examined in 1830 in the Pyrenees. The Student's Elements of Geology They consist principally of two divisions, the upper calcareous and the lower argillaceous, both of which may be seen at Syracuse, Girgenti, and Castrogiovanni. The Student's Elements of Geology In like manner gneiss and mica-schist may be nothing more than altered micaceous and argillaceous sandstones, granular quartz may have been derived from siliceous sandstone, and compact quartz from the same materials. The Student's Elements of Geology Even where the argillaceous substrata are hard at first, they soon become softened and reduced to a plastic state when exposed to the contact of air and water in the floor of a mine. The Student's Elements of Geology A whitish cherty limestone, with nodules of bluish argillaceous limestone. 6th. Geological Observations on South America In some places lenticular masses of pure rock-salt nearly 100 feet thick are interpolated between the argillaceous beds. The Student's Elements of Geology Between the Great and Inferior Oolite near Bath, an argillaceous deposit, called "the fuller's earth," occurs; but it is wanting in the north of England. The Student's Elements of Geology The "alum-schists," as they are called in Sweden, are horizontal argillaceous rocks which underlie conformably certain Lower Silurian strata in the mountain called Kinnekulle, south of the great Wener Lake in Sweden. The Student's Elements of Geology Wide valleys can usually be traced throughout the long bands of country where the argillaceous strata crop out; and between these valleys the limestones are observed, forming ranges of hills or more elevated grounds. The Student's Elements of Geology It consists of clays and calcareous sandstones, which pass downward into the Forest Marble, an argillaceous limestone, abounding in marine fossils. The Student's Elements of Geology The lower chalk without flints passes gradually downward, in the south of England, into an argillaceous limestone, "the chalk marl," already alluded to. The Student's Elements of Geology The distance between the first and the last was more than 100 feet, and the roots of all were imbedded in a soft argillaceous shale. The Student's Elements of Geology Beds of greenstone are intercalated conformably with the quartzose and argillaceous members of this series. The Student's Elements of Geology These may be said to belong principally to three divisions, the siliceous, the argillaceous, and the calcareous, which are formed respectively of flint, clay, and carbonate of lime. The Student's Elements of Geology The above-mentioned three classes of rocks, the siliceous, argillaceous, and calcareous, pass continually into each other, and rarely occur in a perfectly separate and pure form. The Student's Elements of Geology Above the orbitoidal limestone is a white limestone, sometimes soft and argillaceous, but in parts very compact and calcareous. The Student's Elements of Geology The siliceous sandstone called "upper quader" by the Germans overlies white argillaceous chalk or "planer-kalk," a deposit resembling in composition and organic remains the chalk marl of the English series. The Student's Elements of Geology The chief mass of this formation consists of a dark grey argillaceous shale with calcareous concretions, having a maximum thickness of 1000 feet. The Student's Elements of Geology This upper chalk is usually succeeded, in the descending order, by a great mass of white chalk without flints, below which comes the chalk marl, in which there is a slight admixture of argillaceous matter. The Student's Elements of Geology If the mud be argillaceous, it acquires consistency on drying, and on breaking open a portion of it we find that each shell has left impressions of its external form.
