Excerpt from The Phasis of Matter, Vol. 2 of 2: Being an Outline of the Discoveries and Applications of Modern Chemistry A geological formation is one or (as is almost always the case) a number of rocks that have been deposited by the same agencies and in the same sequence of time. Some of these formations have been deposited within the period of recorded history, and some are in the act of being deposited at the present moment. Perhaps a notice of some of these latter may elucidate the whole subject of formations. There is, for example, the deposition at the mouth of the Nile called the Delta of the Nile. This is of great extent, the whole of it having been washed down by the waters of the Nile. As the river flows in the upper part of its course through syenite it will wash down a quantity of this mineral in a divided state, and also some of the plants and animals peculiar to the country, as lotus, papyrus, ibis, ichneumon, &c., About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
