Laboratory Exercise Look at each hand sample and determine as best you can which facies it was formed in or was deposited in. Have your instructor check your list, then plot the facies on the base map provided and "map" the paleogeography by grouping the Location Rock type / fossils specimens with similar facies into the areas on the map. You may work in groups. The base map provided on the next page has all the band specimen locations and the present geographical outline of North America (dashed outline) Environment/ facies 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 log 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Label the Ancient Mississippi Embayment and the Interior Seaway. What geologic time period is represented in these samples? What facies are more likely to have preserved fossils? Explain your answer.
