Preservation Spotlight The historic Carmelite Monastery represents an important piece of Stanton and Martin County history, West Texas building styles, and late-1800s Texas frontier settlement. In the early 1880s, a small group of Carmelite friars from Kansas arrived at Grelton Station on the Texas and Pacific Railroad to create a German Catholic community – the only one of its kind in West Texas. They named their town Marienfeld (German for Field of Mary) and sold about half of their land to build their new Carmelite establishment, including the monastery pictured here. For a couple of years the colony flourished, but by 1888 sandstorms and drought caused many of the settlers to abandon Martin County. The Sisters of Mercy later occupied and then purchased the building during the 1890s to operating an academy until it closed in 1938. Today the 1884 monastery is the colony’s only remaining building. Its Gothic pointed windows and four-foot-thick adobe walls strikes a blend of Southwest building style and European architecture. The building is also a standing legacy of the West Texas pioneering spirit in the face of hardship and misfortune. Martin County Convent, Inc. is a non-profit group of citizens actively working to preserve the Historic Carmelite Monastery. They are contracting with Pat Taylor, a historic adobe preservationist from New Mexico, and have started work on stabilizing the foundation and basement. The group plans to utilize the site as an interpretive center and develop the grounds into a landscaped native Texas plant garden.

According to radiometric dating methods the Moon is: Thorium - Lead Dating = 4.87 to 28.14 Billion Years Old. Uranium-Lead Dating = 5.06 to 10.28 Billion Years Old. Lead - Lead Dating = 5 Billion Years Old. Potassium-Argon Dating = 2.1 to 17 Billion Years Old.

Clyde Webster states that the Solar System is 4,500 million years old: “Is it possible that the beginning for the consolidation of our Solar System within the universe could have been 4,500 million years ago? Does that impact on scripture? If I understand scripture properly, I have to come back and say NO.”. Record, “A Scientist Talks About Creation”, March 11, 1995, Page 6-9. In an earlier book he states that the Solar System is only 6,000 years old: “These objections can be overcome if we interpret the fourth day of the creation week as addressing only our Solar System and not the entire Universe.” The Earth: Origins And Early History, Dr. Clyde Webster, North American Division Press, 1981, Chapter 3.

In this contribution, I summarize the processes and products of impact cratering and provide and an up-to-date assessment of the geological record of meteorite impacts. 1. INTRODUCTION It is now widely recognized that impact cratering is a ubiquitous geological process that affects all planetary objects with a solid surface (e.g., [1]). One only has to look up on a clear night to see that impact structures are the dominant landform on the Moon. The same can be said of all the rocky and icy bodies in the solar system that have retained portions of their earliest crust.

    Abstracts of the Geological Society of America December Meeting at Austin Andaltjsite in Californian Eocene Sediments Bt Victor T

    ABSTRACTS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA DECEMBER MEETING AT AUSTIN ANDALTJSITE IN CALIFORNIAN EOCENE SEDIMENTS BT VICTOR T. ALLEN Californian Chico Cretaceous sandstones near Folsom and Pentz and at the type locality on Chico Creek lack pink andalusite. The overlying Eocene lone sandstones and correlated auriferous gravels contain pink andalusite derived from the bedrock series of the Sierra Nevada. If these Cretaceous and Eocene sediments were both derived from the same source, it appears that contact aureoles around Sierran intrusions with a grade of metamorphism sufficiently high to contain andalusite were not exposed by erosion until Eocene time. Under the Great Valley at several local­ ities a similar limitation of andalusite to the Eocene and younger sediments has been found. It is suggested that careful watch be kept by all investigators to check the possibility of using andalusite to separate Cretaceous from Eocene sediments in California. (Geological Society project.) JOINT PATTERNS IN HIGHLY FOLDED AND CRYSTALLINE ROCKS OF THE NORTHERN NEW JERSEY HIGHLANDS AND THEIR RELATION TO APPALACHIAN OROGENY BY ALFRED N . APPLEBY* Pre-Cambrian rocks predominate in the Highlands of northern New Jersey. Asso­ ciated with them are Paleozoic formations, the youngest of which are Devonian. All are highly folded and metamorphosed. The mantle is largely resultant from Pleisto­ cene glaciation. The rocks are well jointed. Most are shear joints caused by com­ pressive stresses. The observations were made in an area of approximately 200 square miles, between Dover and the New York State line and between Hamburg and Pompton Lakes. For purposes of comparison, some Triassic rocks to the east of this area were examined.
