Report On The Eruptions Of The Soufriere In St Vincent In 1902 And On A Visit To Montagne Pelee In Martinique PDF Download

Excerpt from Report on the Eruptions of the Soufriere, in St. Vincent, in 1902, and on a Visit to Montagne Pelee, in Martinique, Vol. 1 In Guadeloupe and in Antigua there are fossiliferous deposits possibly of Miocene age interbedded in the volcanic tuffs, and it may be that eruptive activity in the Leeward Islands dates back to the Eocene. But in the Windward Islands the oldest fossiliferous beds are Pleistocene or recent. Rocks of this age occur at elevations of several hundred feet above the sea in Martinique, St. Lucia, and Grenada, and to whatever period the outbreak Of volcanic activity is to be assigned, there can be no doubt that it has continued through the Pleistocene up to the present day.
