Did it originate from the Amazonia or West African craton of Western Gondwana? Most researchers gravitate to the former, but not all. Happy geology!

I am a Preschool teacher and our campus is 100 years old. We play on large protruding puddingstones. Thank-you for confirmation of connection Roxbury bedrock formation connection to West Africa. I can now make a known connection geographically for my students. I have a fuller understanding geologically of the erosion that took place <br />600 million years ago in the Roxbury area. I have always loved puddingstone I am now amazed at its <br />creation and how it applies to earths structure. I am thinking of writing a picture book on this topic!!!Carmennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044623403268527446.post-71926397373137773242016-09-03T13:50:53.899-04:002016-09-03T13:50:53.899-04:00In your quotation from The Professor at the Breakf...In your quotation from The Professor at the Breakfast Table - don't you mean 1860, rather than 1964? Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. died in 1894. The "Professor" was first published in 1860. But otherwise, fascinating reading!

I read it once before Google Blogger mangled it; I'd love to read it in its entirety.<br />Second, is there any chance that you can visit us here in Oregon? We can offer volcanoes in various flavors, terranes (at least two) and a magnitude 9+ time bomb just off our coast.<br />Keep up the good work.
