A geological diary Of so
million years is scribbled in
the rock and earth pages Of
Southern Maryland.
This Is the conclusion Of
John T. Hack, Geological Sur
yey geologist. from an extern
sive study Of the origin Of the
upland between the Patuxent
and Potomac Rivers. He In
vestigated approximately 90
square miles in Prince Georges
and Charles Counties In which
four. possibly i've. quite dis
tinct formations can be dis
tinguished.
At the bottom lies the so
million year old Nanjemoy,
formation, taking its name
from the small village Of Nan-
jemoy In Charles County. This.
fossil and other evidence shows.
dates from the eocene age in
earth,s history--the time when
the remote ancestors Of extant
mammals, singing birds. fiow-
ering plants and present types
Of fish and reptiles first ap-
peared on earth. Below this Is
a basement era built up on the
2.000-foot deep basement rocks.
This dates from the upper cre-
taceous age, preceding the
eocene, which was the time Of
some Of the monster dinosaurs.
None Of the cretaceous forma-
tion, however. Is exposed at
any point.
Reads Sands OF Time
The area apparently was dry
land during the eocene age. It
was overrun by the sea, how
ever, In the next geological pc
Rod, whose deposits, Mr.. Hack
found. consist largely Of a
brilliant orange-yellow sand,
quite distinct from everything
else In the region. This has
been named the North Keys
sand" after q village where its
outcrops are most prominent.
It dates from the period when
the primitive animals and
plants Of the Nanjemoy cons
were coming much closer TO
the forms known today. It
probably. Mr.. Hack says. is
sand deposited In shallow wa
ter. on the shore, or as dunes
behind the beach.
The study was based largely
on outcrops Of these geological
formations In railroad and road
