Abstract

Combiniiig the indications regarding the present high rate of denuda tion with the evidence of the halting and discontinuous nature of past deposition, it is seen that geologic time is certainly much longer-perhaps ten or fifteen times longer-than the estimates based on strictly uniformitarian interpretation.
