HUTTONS DOCTRINE OF UNIFORMITY

( Playfair, 1802 )

Amid all the revolutions of the globe the economy of Nature has been
uniform, and her laws are the only thing that have resisted the general
movement. The rivers and the rock, the seas, and the continents have been
changed in all their parts; but the laws which describe those changes, and
the rules to which they are subject, have remained invariably the same

The present is the key to he past

No vestiges of the beginning, no vestiges of the end
Everything changes, only the law of changes does not change

Original Horizontality Steno, 1669

Super Position Steno, 1669
Original Continuity Steno, 1669
Uniformitarianism, James Hutton 1795
Cross Cutting Relationship Steno, 1669
Inclusions
Faunal Succesion, Abbel Giraud Soulavie, 1778
Strata Identified by Fossils, Wiliam Smith, 1886
strata either perpendicular to the horizon or inclined to
the horizon ware at on time parralel to the horizon

material forming any stratum ware continues over the

surface of the earth unless some other solid bodies stood
in the way
 at the time when any given stratum was being formed,
all the matter resting upon it was fluid, and, therefore, at
the time when the lower stratum was being formed, none
of the upper strata existed

if a body or discontinuity cuts across a stratum, it must

have formed after that startum

Rock ragments (in the rock) must be older than the rock
containing the fragments
 Fossil groups were succeeded by other fossil groups
through time

This allowed geologist to develop a fossil stratigraphy

and provided a means to correlate rock throughout the
world
What is Law Statment
Interbedded sandstone: grey, browny cross bedding, medium
sand coarse sand, thick bedding sandstone, finning upward,
conglomeratic, non calcareous
What is Law Statment
Outcrop of crystalline limestone, white grey in colour, saccaroidal weathered, there was an
intrusion contact. Intrusion: dark grey in color, coarse grain, contain of quartz, plagioclase, and

biotite .
