Page 148 - What we now know of the various epeirogenic movements which resulted in the production of the present continent leads me to believe that such an outlet, if one existed, was at the southern end, and this suggestion is supported by certain paleontological conditions which have been observed in Laramie strata in the Texan and North Mexican regions.

Where the upper layers of the Austin limestone are to be observed they are found to be overlain by or to merge gradually into clayey or marly layers which, in eastern Texas at least, pass up into strata that...
