Fossils are to be found in the Geosyncline; those discovered in the Ediacara Hills of the northern Flinders in 1946 are of worldwide significance for being some of the oldest examples of fossilised animal life ever found.

Among the more common of these are the taphrogeosyncline, a depressed block of the Earth's crust that is bounded by one or more high-angle faults and that serves as a site of sediment accumulation; and the paraliageosyncline, a deep geosyncline that passes into coastal plains along continental margins.

The idea of continents with a permanent location, the geosyncline theory, the Pratt-Hayford isostasy, the extrapolation of the age of the Earth by Lord Kelvin as a black body cooling down, the contracting Earth, the Earth as a solid and crystalline body, is one school of thought.

The results of his research were summarized in a five volume monograph " The Geological research of Klippen zone of the Western Carpathians " ( 1931-1955 ), " Apercu de la G�ologie des Carpathes occidentales de la Slovauie centrale " ( 1931 ), three volumes of " The Geology of Czechoslovak Carpathians " ( 1958-1965 ) and monograph " Grundriss der Tektonik der N�rdlichen Karpaten " ( 1968 ), which is considered one of the highlights of synthesis of the tectonic structure of the Western Carpathians based on the principles of the geosyncline theory.
