Assignment for Sunday Evening (after the pre-conception evaluation), June 22, 2008

We are going to assume that all of you have some understanding of the basic principles of stratigraphy. For a review of these principles, there are a variety of web locations. Here are a few for you to review to test your understanding of the principles (listed below)

(1) principle of original horizontality
(2) principle of cross-cutting relationships
(3) principle of stratigraphic superposition
(4) principle of lateral continuity
(5) unconformities
(6) inclusions

Principles with original quotes from Steno, Hutton and Smith who developed these laws/principles

Dear Institute A Participants,

This is the viewing software for looking at geologic maps, etc., on your computer. You need this installed on your computer for next week's activities. It is an add-in for Internet Explorer. I look forward to meeting you all next week!
