The Gulf Stream debate and deep Atlantic fossils
The article discusses competing theories for the Gulf Stream current, weighing equatorial water and Arctic sinking hypotheses, with references to Thomson and Carpenter. It notes evidence on sea water density, chalk and ooze similarities, and supports evolution by examining deep sea fauna and fossil links, then shifts to a tribute to Dean Alford and his scholarly life.
