The 24-page original typescript includes 16 tipped-in original black-and-white photographs two elevation charts and a map.<br /> <br /> Arnold was hired by Jack Leland to study reports and maps of the Mecca Hills Anticline and conduct a field inspection providing his opinion of the oil and gas possibilities of the rock formations. On page three of the report underlined in red is his comment: “This structure is ideal for oil and gas accumulation.†He further states: “from the evidence it is clear that oil exists in the general area of the north end of the Imperial Valley.â€<br /> <br /> The Mecca Hills Anticline is now in a protected reserve. Established in 1994 the U.S. Bureau of Land Management manages the 26356-acre Mecca Hills Wilderness. The area includes narrow steep-walled canyons that create a natural maze within the badlands. Uniquely faulted and folded geologic formations are the result of activity on the local sections of the San Andreas Fault making the Mecca Hills one of the more unusual geological sites of this kind. Located in Riverside County Mecca is a desert community on the north shore of the Salton Sea in the Eastern Coachella Valley and is surrounded by agricultural land with a population of approximately 8000 residents.<br /> <br /> Bound with brads in black leatherette wrappers.

Continued pressurein such a case results in a regular series of synclines and anticlines. By contrast spatial nonuniformities in the bed thickness or in the vertical pressure can produce marked asymmetries in the resulting folds with for instnace fewer folds in regions of greater vertical pressure."Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1878. </em> unknown
15420On letterhead of St John's College Cambridge. 20 February 1871. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. Very good on lightly-aged paper. He begins by commending the recipient's 'interesting paper': 'Of the justice of your remarks there can of course be no doubt and even the small amount of knowledge that I have been able to acquire of the nature of rocks has for some time past convinced me of the importance of what you <argue>'. He explains that he did his best 'in getting specimens of the Lafoten rocks but the tast was very difficult and very unsuccessful owing to the great hardness of the rocks. Quarries of course were absent'. When he 'wrote a short paper which I sent to the Geological Society I had not got <Keilan's> book - I have since looked at the part about the Lafotens but it appears to me that he is by no means clear about the nature of the rocks there although it is evident that he regarded many parts as metamorphic. Forbes calls mempanite and Mr Dahl in conversatino with myself maintained that they were so knowing that he was a geologist of some repute and finding it almost impossible to get hold of Norwegian books I concluded that the opinion expressed by Travellers was generally held'. He concludes by stating that 'Since asking the question about Dolomite' he has 'come upon Mr Sorby's paper. Henry Clifton Sorby 1826-1908 He is doubtless right - Mr Hunts speculations seem to me very wild.' On letterhead of St John's College, Cambridge. 20 February 1871. unknown

Map of Etna - Craters and Lava of 1852 & 1853 - Fossil leaves from Etna 23 textillustrations. <br/><br/><em>Firs printing of this importent investigation of the processes involved in the creation of volcanoes. Lyell had been convinced in his study of Madeira and the Canaries that the evidence on which Leopold von Buch had founded his his theory of craters of elevation 1825 was completely fallacious. Lyell "found that Etna had neither a linear axis nor a single center of upheaval. Instead he found two earlier centers of eruption in the Val del Bove. From each center the beds of lava sloped away in all directions but beds of lava arising from Etna's modern center of eruption had flowed over and buried those from the earlier centers. Lyell considered this to be decisive evidence against the crater-of-elevationn theory because "although one cone of eruption may envelope and bury another cone of eruption it is impossible for a cone of upheaval to mantle round and overwhelm another cone of upheaval so as to reduce the whole mass to one conical mountain.". He concluded that the conical form of Etna as of all volcanoes was entirely the result of the long-continued process of volcanic eruption."DSB.Charles Lyell 1797-1875 probably accomplished more in the advancement of geological knowledge than any other one man. The world-wide influence of his treatises and textbooks established the principle of uniformitarianism. </em> unknown
