The use of the terms “normal” and “abnormal” in relation to shore-platforms has led to confusion and should be discontinued. Processes operative in the formation of shore platforms are analysed from Victorian examples. The effects of water-layer weathering, growth of marine organisms, breakers, and waves of translation on sheltered and open coasts and on various rocks (including a special study of platforms in aeolianites) are discussed.
The recent discovery of fossil fishes in the Devonian rocks of Victoria may appear somewhat surprising in view of the fact that the general geology of the state has by now been worked out in fair detail, both by the Geological Survey and by independent investigators. Much of the detailed work has been confined, however, to the Lower Palaeozoic groups, in which the original gold deposits of the state are found, the economically less important Upper Palaeozoic rocks having been subjected to less minute examination by the Survey, especially of late years, and left in the hands of individual geologists, who often turned to the great igneous rock masses occurring in the central part of the state as constituting a congenial subject for research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
