The story of the Valley of Virginia|rock layers before it. for 500,000,000 years is being recon- | this the younger rocks generally are structed by the United States Geologi- | cal Survey. It is a sweeping epic of the conflicts of tremendous forces through the eons that members of the survey stafl are finding “written in six great volumes, each with many pages, hundreds of feet thick. These pages are the rock layers of the mountains. The printing upon, them consists of the impressions of -shells of anclent sea creatures which | were imbedded in the mud of a sea| bottom when they died, the mud aft- erward changing to rock. The story, according to Charles Butts, survey geoiogist, who has just com- pleted his Sumue’s work in the valley, goes back to tae far-off days when the region now covered by the valley, the Blue Ridge, Massanutten and - gheny ranges was the bottom of a shallow sea, which stretched north and south from Labrador to Georgia, with a shore continually shifting west Sea Endured Long Time. This was the condition ‘at the be- ginning of the Caml period of geologic time. This Cambrian sea must have_endured for a long time use, Mr. Butts says, the Virginia rocks laid down in this period are several thou- sand feet thick. They were all formed from the mud of the sea bottom, con- taining fossils of the characteristic shelled creatures of the period. ‘Then in order follow a period known to some geologists as the Ozarkian, the Ordovician, the Sflurian, the Devonian | and Mississippi_periods, each with its sub-divisions characterized by differ- ences in the animals. The outline of the great epi-continental sea varied during these ages and some of its vari- ations can be determined from the fos- s. This state of affairs lasted until ap- proximately 200,000,000 years ago, when the sea is belleved to have receeded to about its present coastal line, leaving behind it large areas of low-lying swamp land with luxurious vegetation, the fos- silized, hardened remains of which are the coal deposits of Southwest Virginia. | But, Mr. Butts says, even in these coal deposits there is evidence that the shal- low sea did not retreat without a strug- gle and several times regained a tempo- rary hold on the land. Between the coal layers there are layers of rock with sea fossils. Deep Rock Built Up. During the under-water period of Virginia's history, researches show, ap- proximately 40,000 feet of rock was built up from the hardened and com- pressed mud.- That would be the condi- tion if a place could be found where the rocks were undisturbed in their natural and complete sequence in time those laid down in the late Mississip- pilan period on top and those of the early Cambrian at the bottom, with all the * intervening periods represented. Nothing of the kind actually exists. ‘The Virginia area is like an ancient manuscript that has been torn apart and scattered to the winds.

The view perhaps most generally held by geol- ogists is that this great push resulted from a cooling and consequent con- traction of the earth, so that something on the surface had to give way. It did not, however, take place in an alto- gether orderly fashion, which makes the Virginia country a very compli- cated geological manuseript to read. Age of Rocks Reversed. First the rocks were pushed up in their proper order, from oldest to youngest. Then, as more pressure was exerted, they were turned completely over, so the oldest were on top and the youngest on the bottom. With still more pressure, various levels were broken off completely and pushed for- west of the peak, or fault, to use the geological term.

The evidence of the Val- ley rocks is that it always was a shal- low sea. There are wave marks on some of the rocks and big cracks showing where they have shrunk from drying. The fossil records show that at one time in the middle Ordovician period there was a narrow, elongated sea which extended from the highlands of Scot- land through Labrador and the Appa- lachian region and the coastal plain of Alabama and Mississippi and then turned northward through Arkansas and Oklahoma.
