Bonine Discovers Volcanic
Deposits In Centre County
Evidence of several volcanic erup
tions which covered the central portion
of this state with fine dust deposits
was discovered recently by Prof. Cher
leigh A. Bonne, head of the depart
ment of geology and mineralogy, and
confirmed by investigation with Prof.
Arthur P. lioness, another member of
the department
Examination of the various depos
its under the microscope showed the
presence of volcanic glass. Special
ists in this woilc believe that this is
the first time such formation has been
discovered in earth deposits in Penn
sylvania.
According to Professor Honess who
did the microscopic part of the work
this is something quite unusual for
the section. Ho says, "The discovery
is very interesting and of pat ticular '
significance as most sedimentary rocks
do not have this peculiar origin."

kind of cloy. It will not be used com
mercially as this particular bed is
quite thin, not being over sgicrul
inches thick at the most.
The clay was formed by the alter
ation of the dust-like particles of vol
cans ash as they fell into a shallow
inland sea. Such a body of water
covered the region millions of years
ago during the geological period when
limestones were being formed.
Evidence of the action has been
found in six beds, each from one to
nine inches thick, and grouped in
zones. Four are found in ono forma
tion, two in another, and one in a
third. According to Professor Bon
me, these zones are separated by ap
proximately one million years.
Volcanic vents from which ash was
blown have not been discovered by the
investigators. They believe that the
vents are probably located farther
south In Kentucky or Virginia, where
beds of similar material, several feet
thick, have been found.
