The Geological Column Grows One Stratigrapher At A Time

As surely as  Bob Carter  was an  excellent  marine  stratigrapher, 
and  one  of  the  foremost  Friends  of  Science 
there's  something  firmamentally  wrong  with Watts'  eulogy: 
has he been studying astronomy with the Cornwall Alliance again ?

I was shocked and saddened to read this, I’m passing it on without comment because I can’t write about this at this moment. See update below.

UPDATE: I have gathered my thoughts.

Bob Carter’s sudden death reminded me that life is tenuous, and that what we view as firmament can be taken from us in an instant.
