What reading level is Geology for the Million book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He found first, a bed of brown brick earth con- taining old tombs ; under this, whitish marl, con- taining recent bones and shells and teeth; and lastly, a thick deposit of flint gravel with some shells and bones of elephant, ox, horse, and deer, and with them a considerable number of worked flints. Near Abbeville he found a still more in- teresting section-gravel, containing bones of deer, horses, mammoths, and rhinoceroses, and shells both marine and freshwater all these mingled with flakes o...f flint, flint knives, and flint hatchets ; all stained, like the rolled pebbles, with the gravel among which they lay. Geologists class these beds with the Tertiaries of Croydon and the neigh- bourhood of London. The gravel beds formed here and there over the face of the land, separate from or accompanied by the masses characterized as boulders, belong to the same formation as that of the Clyde Valley, of the Alps, and of South America and Australia. 143 GEOLOGY FOE THE MILLION. In the last-named country are found the Welling- ton Valley eaves, containing the bones of a kan- garoo, , the skull of which, according to Professor Owen, exceeds that of an ox in size.
