But not alone has this Leviathan left his pre-adamite traces in the stereotype plates of nature, and in limestone and marl bequeathed his ancient bust; but upon Egyptian tablets, whose antiquity seems to claim for them an almost fossiliferous character, we find the unmistakable print of his fin.

It is frequently mixed with marl, and with marine substances in a state of decomposition.

The next day the wind came from the south, and the balloon moved slowly over a vast plateau of mountains: there, were extinct craters; here, barren ravines; not a drop of water on those parched crests; piles of broken rocks; huge stony masses scattered hither and thither, and, interspersed with whitish marl, all indicated the most complete sterility.

"Indeed, these people must certainly be prompted by a most violent indignation," said the young marl, with the same impassible tone which he had preserved all along.

We here see at the bottom of the cliffs, beds containing sharks' teeth and sea-shells of extinct species, passing above into an indurated marl, and from that into the red clayey earth of the Pampas, with its calcareous concretions and the bones of terrestrial quadrupeds.

The Lower Eocene (LE) consists of light-gray/white marls and clays with inter-layers of sandstones, siltstones and bentonites.

In the Tuncbilek sub-basin, terrestrial and lacustrine sediments contain half-cemented conglomerates, claystones of fluviatile origin showing a fining-upward sequence, marls, siltstones, sandstones, lacustrine limestones, and lignite, located in the lower and upper parts of the sequence (Figure 1).

Rocks mainly consist of black shales, dark grey calcareous mudstones and marls with abundant ammonites of Jurassic, which are significantly different from the Yanshiping Group biological assemblage and/or sedimentary characteristics.

The classic ocean racing yacht Sanyo Marls has come out of retirement to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her launching by competing in two of Australia's toughest ocean races, the Hempel to Gosford Lord Howe Island and the Rolex Sydney Hobart.
