Later he would become an adherent of Neptunism, the theory that rocks were formed gradually by crystallization from the waters of a primeval sea, but now he was quite open to the drama of Plutonism, the theory that rocks such as granite were formed by solidification from the molton state: Now if one assumes that the volcanoes continue to the right up to Cassel and then farther to the left to Frankfurt and even Andernach, it would then be most interesting to investigate whether and how the enormous volcanic fury of this large stretch of country was broken by the unshakable bedrock of the Thuringian Forest, which resisted it like some enormous dam.
