Interesting to learn about the Conversazione at the Victoria Memorial Museum in #Ottawa in March of 1927. Now to see what has been written in #historyofgeology #museology about this event. https://edinos.ca/historic-news-1927/

Hey #HistoryofGeology - What should be on the timeline of big ideas and big insights in geology for history of popular knowledge? What is the pop-culture of geology? Were new thoughts about the age of the Earth a big deal at the time?

One thing leads to another in an archive. This was the end result, finding a very interesting geological map "MS Geological Map of Northern Scotland" "Made during a tour of the Highlands in 1827" by Murchison and possibly Sedgewick. It is thought most of the notes are by Murchison himself.
