Lecture 22 By thought and dint of hammering, Is the good work done whereof I sing, And a jollier crowd you´ll rarely find, than the men who chip on earth´s old rind, And often wear a patched behind, By thought and dint of hammering. - Andrew C.

As we learned from James Hutton: Originally strata are: horizontal layers younger beds above older ones
