Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of geological specimens and the resulting observations gathered during early 19th-century expeditions to the coast of Australia. The specimens were collected to understand the geological structure and productions of the north and western coasts of Australia, and the book includes a detailed list of the specimens themselves. Included in the book are descriptions of the rock formations on the coast, including primitive rocks, sandstone, and limestone, with detailed attention paid to a newly discovered recent calcareous breccia, formed from the accretion of calcareous matter. The author notes the resemblance of these formations to similar formations in other parts of the world, highlighting the geographic distribution of certain minerals, and draws parallels between the Australian formations and those found in Europe. The book also includes a discussion of the geological implications of the specimens, with an emphasis on the evidence they provide for the existence of powerful expansive forces within the earth. The author concludes by noting that the insights presented in this book will be of great interest to geologists and anyone interested in the physical geography and geology of Australia.
