Table 4. Sequence of Events Using all the information given, number the events in order from oldest to youngest. Event Order (1 for oldest to 12 for youngest) 6 1313 141 1 Deposition of tan sandstone (A) Deposition of greenish shale (B) Deposition of coarse sandstone (C) Formation of dike (D) Movement along fault (F) Formation of granite (G) Deposition of gray limestone (K) Eruption of lava flow (L) and formation of volcano (V) Erosion to form narrow canyon (N) Deposition of older river gravels (R) Deposition of reddish sandstone (5) Development of a nonconformity on granite (not assigned a letter) NO
▼ Granite (G) BIU A A - Dike (D) Table 3. Calculations of Isotopic Ages Use these data to calculate the isotopic ages of the granite (G) and dike (D). Calculate the number of half lives that have passed and multiply this by the half life of the measured isotope. These calculations are meant for practice, and a new question will be given on the quiz to determine your understanding of calculating isotopic ages. The quiz question will use the same concepts/procedure, but contain different numbers. Rock Unit Half-Life of Isotope 0.75 billion years T 50 million years # Parent Atoms 250 125 EE #Daughter # of Half Lives that Atoms Have Passed 1750 3875 Age
