I'm awestruck by the ancient character of rocks and while studying the subject, the geological term stratigraphy immediately leapt out and put a name to that which drives this fascination. It refers to the analysis of the order and position of layers of strata and their relationship to the geological time scale. It provides the basis for historical geology. We see a version of this in our daily lives. As our cities around us age, layers of paint and facades peel away to reveal the colors and patterns of bygone eras to the extent that these strange new patterns form a quiltwork that we associate with the modern world.
