It may appear inconceivable to a beginner how mountains, several
thousand feet thick, can have become full of fossils from top to
bottom; but the difficulty is removed, when he reflects on the

deposition, each separate layer was once the uppermost, and
immediately in contact with the water in which aquatic animals
lived.
