Homework 3: Biostratigraphy instructions: A geologist has identified fossils from six sites. Using the age ranges on the next age, determine the geologic age of each formation Sections are in stratigraphic order and ormations with no fossils can still be assigned an age (remembering the law of superposition). Place the period symbols in their correct places on the stratigraphic columns on the next page. Correlate the columns biostratigraphically. Mark all unconformities.
