H. H. GODWIN-AUSTEX ON TERTIARY FORirATlO.^S
These boulders, although retaining their form and colour, are so
completely disintegrated and softened that they can be sliced off in
mass easily with the edge of the hammer.
Higher up the winding ravine the dip changes to soutb, at a
lower angle, and the beds rest against the porphyry, the lowest beds
being gritty, with quartz pebbles and red ochraceous beds above.
The Tertiary beds can be traced here and there below the bridge,
but are there of a grey marly character, and only showing in the low
banks as far as the high road from Boca towards the plains beyond.
The village stands on the same formation, which here rises to about
250 feet, west of the stream. I could find no fossils.
Section at IIaggiora.
The next section of the Tertiary beds occurs at Maggiora, about
a mile to the east, on the road to Borgomanero ; and, owing to the
formation of a new road descending towards the Sizzone river, good
fresh sections were exposed in the Pliocene.
Section under Maggiora.

Just after leaving the village the descent commences, and at

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
