I. Principles of stratigraphy: Given the cross-section of rock strata exposed in a canyon wall below, outline the history of the area. The intrusive diabase rock gives a Uranium-lead date of 204 million years. Using the principles of stratigraphy you have seen in class, develop a narrative of the history of the sequence of strata and fossils exposed in a ravine you seen in this hypothetical cross-section exposed in a ravine in central Germany. Develop the narrative as a series of events; 1, 2, 3 ... Describe the environments in which the strata were deposited. Stating the various basic stratigraphic principles you used and the geological periods to which the rock unit belongs. You should give the age of the rock units as best you can in millions of years and its relative age to the epoch-level (Late Triassic, Early Cretaceous, etc.).
