Geol 247/248 STRATIGRAPHY & LAB
This study of sedimentary rock strata includes consideration of large scale patterns of sedimentary deposits including extraterrestrial forcing functions. The principles of the study of layered rock strata also include both basin analysis and sequence-stratigraphic analysis. Considerations of various rock types characteristic of certain environments of deposition (facies) are used to facilitate exercises in local and worldwide correlation of rock sequences.
