The traces of upheavals become more impressive when one moves a little higher, when one gets even closer to the foot of the great mountain ranges. There are still plenty of shell layers. We notice them, even thicker and more solid ones.

  • -- Georges Cuvier 乔治·居维叶

当一个人爬得再高一点,当他更接近大山脚下时,动荡的痕迹就会变得更加令人印象深刻。仍然有大量的外壳层。我们注意到它们,甚至更厚更结实的。
