Stratigraphic Sequences
Using the following list of events, table of information and diagram :-
i) Place the events in chronological order starting with the oldest event. Note: events may be used more than once.
ii) Write a brief geological history of the area. How are the rocks in the sequence formed and what environmental conditions led to their formation? Start with the oldest event and state why you have placed the events in the order you have.
Events
A time gap in deposition
Deposition of shale
Intrusion of granite pluton
Folding of shale
Metamorphism of shale
Deposition of limestone
Uplift, weathering and erosion

Solution Summary
Geologic history exercise for a set of layered rocks with intrusions and metamorphic contacts. MS Word file contains image and hyperlinked references
Sea stratigraphy
I need some help figuring out how the sequence of sediment layers are formed in the ocean in relation to the movement of plate tectonics and plate boundaries. For example if I was to look at a core from a drill site and decide what the sediment type would be on top and the one below it etc. The sediment types that I am working with are terrigenous, biogenous, and hydrogenous.
