...The third layer contains mammal-like reptile fossils, and the fourth layer is desert-like in places and indicates a vast basalt eruption. Four layers of rocks, the Dwaika (tulliver layer), the Ekka (coal-bearing layer), the Beaufort (mammal-like reptile layer), and the Stormberg (basalt layer), were discovered in India, Australia, and South Africa, respectively. This raised the question of how to interpret the distribution of four similar layers of rocks on continents separated by such a vast ocean. It was also discovered that the ages and structures of Precambrian rocks on the eastern coast of South America and the corresponding western coast of South Africa are very similar, that Paleozoic freshwater lake deposits containing common fossils are distributed in both areas, and that paleolatitude reconstructions based on paleomagnetism are very similar. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Ekka" is listed below.

…第3番目にくる地層は哺乳類型爬虫類の化石を含み,第4番目の地層は場所によっては砂漠的となり,また広大な玄武岩の噴出が起こったことを示している。インドに続きオーストラリアから,それに続いて南アフリカからもドワイカ(漂礫岩層),エッカ(含炭層),ボーフォート(含哺乳類型爬虫類層),ストームバーグ(含玄武岩層)の四重の地層が発見され,かくも広大な大洋で分離された諸大陸に,かくも相似た四重の地層が分布するのは,いかに解釈すべきかと問題になった。また,南アメリカ東岸とそれに相対する南アフリカ西岸とで,先カンブリア時代の岩石年代や構造がよく一致すること,両者に共通の化石を含む古生代の淡水湖成層が分布すること,古地磁気による古緯度復元がよく一致することなども判明した。… ※「エッカ」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
