one of the most striking instances is that of the Flysch formation, which consists of shale and sandstone, several thousand, occasionally even six thousand feet in thickness, and extending for at least 300 miles from Vienna to Switzerland; and although this great mass has been most carefully searched, no fossils, except a few vegetable remains, have been found.
Adibiderik nabarienetako bat Flysh formazioa da; arbel eta harearrizkoa da, milaka oineko, eta noizbehinka are sei mila oineko lodierakoa eta Vienatik Suitzara 300 miliatan gutxienez hedatzen dena; eta masa handi hau zehatz-mehatz arakatu den arren, ez da han fosilik aurkitu, landare hondakin bat edo beste izan ezik.
