To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The plains composed of the Jurassic rocks are unproduc- tive and monotonous, except where they are intersected by steep cliflfs and deep valleys cut by numerous quarries. The series, on the banks of the Rhone, rests upon dolomites and oolitic jaspers, and furnishes material for building, and marble for the manufacture of tables, consoles, and other articles of furniture.
Normandy, one of the old divisions of France, is occupied by the modern departments of Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne, and Lowe...r Seine. This historical region abounds in Jurassic limestones, celebrated for their economic value as building material, and for supplying geological specimens, mostly obtained from the quarries of Moutiers, near Caen. The rock here is loaded with, fossils, affording in many places proper lumachelles.
The Lower Oolite includes the famous Caen Stone of Nor- mandy, enclosing Ammonites, Belemnites, and other fossils corresponding to those of the Great Bath of England. This limestone, sometimes exhibiting an oolitic structure, and at other times compact, with small spathic scales, is soft, easily cut, and of a delicate tint, qualities which render it a valuable building-stone.
