58:7.1 The vast [[group]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%28geology%29 rock] systems which [[constituted]] the outer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_crust crust] of the world during the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#58:4._THE_LIFE-DAWN_ERA life-dawn] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proterozoic Proterozoic era] does not now appear at many points on the [[earth]]'s [[surface]]. And when it does [[emerge]] from below all the accumulations of subsequent [[ages]], there will be found only the [[fossil]] remains of [[Plant|vegetable]] and early [[primitive]] [[animal]] life. Some of these older [[water]]-deposited rocks are commingled with subsequent layers, and sometimes they yield [[fossil]] remains of some of the earlier [[forms]] of [[Plant|vegetable]] life, while on the topmost layers occasionally may be found some of the more [[primitive]] [[forms]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_59 early marine-animal] [[organisms]]. In many places these oldest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratigraphy stratified rock layers], bearing the [[fossils]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_59 early marine life], both [[animal]] and [[Plant|vegetable]], may be found directly on top of the older undifferentiated stone.

58:7.2 [[Fossils]] of this era yield [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae algae], corallike [[plants]], primitive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protozoa Protozoa], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge spongelike] [[transition]] [[organisms]]. But the [[absence]] of such [[fossils]] in the early rock layers does not necessarily [[prove]] that living [[things]] were not elsewhere in [[existence]] at the time of their deposition. Life was sparse throughout these early times and only slowly made its way over the [[Surface|face]] of the [[earth]].

58:7.8 In these early ages when much [[land]] was near sea level, there occurred many [[successive]] submergences and emergences. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_crus earth's crust] was just entering upon its later period of [[comparative]] [[stabilization]]. The undulations, rises and dips, of the earlier [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift continental drift] [[contributed]] to the [[frequency]] of the periodic submergence of the great [[land]] masses.

58:7.9 During these times of [[primitive]] [[marine]] life, extensive areas of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents continental] shores sank beneath the seas from a few feet to half a mile. Much of the older [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandstone sandstone] and conglomerates [[represents]] the sedimentary accumulations of these ancient shores. The sedimentary rocks belonging to this early [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratigraphy stratification] rest directly upon those layers which date back far beyond the [[origin]] of life, back to the early [[appearance]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:8._CRUSTAL_STABILIZATION-THE_AGE_OF_EARTHQUAKES-THE_WORLD_OCEAN_AND_THE_FIRST_CONTINENT world-wide ocean].

58:7.10 Some of the upper layers of these [[transition]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%28geology%29 rock] deposits contain small amounts of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shale shale] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate slate] of dark [[colors]], indicating the [[presence]] of organic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon carbon] and testifying to the [[existence]] of the [[ancestors]] of those [[forms]] of [[plant]] life which overran the [[earth]] during the succeeding [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboniferous Carboniferous] or coal age. Much of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper copper] in these rock layers results from [[water]] deposition. Some is found in the cracks of the older rocks and is the [[concentrate]] of the sluggish swamp water of some ancient sheltered shore line. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron iron] mines of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America North America] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe] are located in deposits and extrusions lying partly in the older unstratified rocks and partly in these later [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratigraphy stratified rocks] of the [[transition]] periods of life formation.
