Within the area of this delta the usual alternations of marine, brackish-water, and terrestrial conditions occurred, and more or less irregular accumulations of sand or mud, in strata of small horizontal extent, took place. Subsequently, and probably...

As a consequence of this local depression there was slowly accumulated, by the growth of coral reefs, and the action of marine currents sweeping small shells and their fragments along the sea-bottom, a mass of calcareous strata, presenting many variations in its local characters, and constituting...

The " cliving hammer," a heavy hammer with broad chisel-edge for splitting up the frosted blocks. The "batting hammer" or "dressinghammer," a lighter tool for trimming the surfaces of the slates and chipping them to the required form and size.
