Title: Mémoire sur des faits géognostiques, observées aux points de contact des laves et des basaltes avec les terrains stratifiés, en Auvergne.
Description: Clermont-Ferrand, Thibaud-Landriot, 1829. 8vo (19.6 x 13.0 cm). Printed title page, 57 pp.; two large, folded plates with views and cross-sections. Blind wrappers in transparent protective sleeve. = Rare early paper on the geological structure and in particular the transition between volcanic and sedimentary layers of the Auverge region in central France, by "le docteur Peghoux". The medical doctor Auguste Péghoux (1796-1858) wrote much about the local history, demography, hygiene, and geology. This is the offprint from the Annales de l'académie de Clermont, with new pagination. Mostly marginal spotting throughout; plates a bit cleaner. In all still a very good copy.
