GEOL 1602 : Final Study Guide Spring 2014
Document Summary
Lab 1: understand the relationship between grain size, roundness, sorting and. Composition to the energy of deposition, and proximity to the sediment source: rock names and their diagnostic characteristics. Invertebrate taxa: symmetry of taxa, environments where these taxa occur. Lab 3: depositional structures, what these structures tell us about the energy or direction of erosion, type of erosional agent. Lab 5: what facies are, walther"s law, changes in facies and their meaning to changes in environment, principles of relative age dating, determine the order of deposition, meaning of magnetostratigraphy and biostratigraphy. Lab 6: transgressions vs regressions, fining vs. coarsening upwards. Lab 7: different ichnofacies and trace fossils found in them, environment that trace fossils are found in. Lab 8: crystal/grain sizes in igneous rocks, environment different igneous rocks are deposited in. Lab 9: different types of dentition found in vertebrates, skull types, differences in hip bones in dinosaurs.
