HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY


CHAPTER I


GEOLOGICAL HISTORY


Formation of the Earth, Including Crawford County, Together with the Discovery of the Oldest Known Inhabitant-Age of the Earth According to Sir William Thompson's Cal- culations-Prof. Tait's Views-Thickness of the Earth's Crust-Different Theories- Age of Crawford Geologically Considered-The Order of Creation-Geological Strata and Sub-Strata-The Glacial Period and Theories Concerning It-Ancient Animal Life -Plant Life-Pre-Glacial Man-Mastodonic Remains Found at Bucyrus-Our Early "Settlers" -- The Mound Builders and Indians.


"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void .- Genesis, I-1-2.


In studying the geological history of Ohio, it is a pleasure to know that Crawford county is very old. Although the county was settled less than a hundred years ago, it ranks equally in age with the older portions of the earth. It is difficult to decide as to what that age is, as eminent geologists differ by many mil- lions of years. Dr. Croll places the age "at not less, but possibly much more, than sixty million years." The stratified rocks of the earth's crust give abundant proof that the whole fauna and flora of the earth's sur- face have passed through numerous cycles of revolution-species, genera, families, appear- ing and disappearing many times in succession. On any supposition it must be admitted that these vicissitudes in the organic world can only have been effected with the lapse of vast periods of time. The argument from geolog- ical evidence is strongly in favor of an interval of probably not much less than one hundred million years since the earliest form of life appeared upon the earth, and the oldest strati- fied rocks began to be laid down.


Sir William Thompson figures the age of


the earth on three different lines. First the internal heat and rate of cooling of the earth : He holds that estimating from the known rate of increase of temperature downward and beneath the earth's surface, and the rate of loss of heat from the earth we have a limit to the antiquity of the planet. He shows from the data available, that the superficial consolidation of the globe could not have oc- curred less than twenty million years ago, or the underground heat would have been greater than it is. Neither could it have occurred more than four hundred million years ago or the underground temperature would have shown no sensible increase downward. The distinguished scientist admits that a difference of 380,000,000 years as to the age is consider- able latitude, but says that a wide limit is necessary. He inclines to the theory that the lower, rather than the higher, figure is nearer correct and places his estimate as to the age of the earth, judging from heat, at one hun- dred million years. Second, the tidal retarda- tion of the earth's rotation: He argues that owing to the friction of the tidal wave, the rotation of the earth is retarded, and is there- fore much slower now than it must have been at one time. He contends that had the globe


21

HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY


become solid some ten thousand million years ago, or indeed any antiquity beyond a hun- dred million years, the centrifugal force due to the more rapid motion must have given the planet a much greater polar flattening than it actually possesses. Third, the origin and age of the sun's heat: He proceeds upon calcula- tions as to the amount of heat which would be available by the falling together of masses from space, which gave rise by their impact to our sun.
