Jules Itier and the first South African geological map

摘要

This represents the second installment of our "Landmarks of South African Geology" series, (in the last issue we revisited the introduction of the Merensky Reef); This extract derives from A. W. Rogers (1937) The Pioneers in South African Geology and their work -- Annexure to the Transactions of the Geological Society of South Africa, vol. 39, pp. 17-18. Thanks to Roger Price of the Council for Geosciences, Pretoria, for help in obtaining a good colour copy of Itier's map, displayed as the front cover for this issue.
