posted on 2023-11-22, 09:27 authored by Robert Mackenzie JohnstonProfessor T. W. Edgeworth David, B.A., F.G.S., one of Australia's most distinguished geologists, has kindly sent me a copy of an interesting paper read by him before the Royal Society of New South Wales in the year 1893, regarding the occurrence of "Sill Structure" in the eruptive rocks of that colony.
It has additional interest for Tasmanian geologists, inasmuch as it raises the question at the head of this paper, viz.
— " Are all the Colossal Igneous Caps of the Tasmanian Tiers, and of the Lofty Mountain Plateaux — such as Ben Lomond, Mount Wellington, and the Great Plateaux of the Lake Country - True Sills ?
