The next four (4) questions refer to the
diagram above.
This diagram shows a geologic cross-
section of some rocks, such as you might
see in a cliff. The tree is growing on top of
the modern surface. Rock layers A,B, C, D,
E, and F are sedimentary; E contains mud
cracks and fossil footprints as shown. G is
igneous rock that hardened from hot,
melted rock. H, I and J are faults, and K
and L are unconformities. Sedimentary
rocks are right-side-up unless there is some
indication given to show something else.
Referring to the rocks you see here ......
1. Which is the correct age progression,

from older (first) to younger (last)?
A. B, C, D, E, F
B. E, F, B, C, D
C. D, E, F, B, C
D. F, E, D, C, B
E. C, D, E, F, B
The package of sediments C, D, E, F is upside-down, as shown by the footprints and mud
cracks, so C is oldest, and F the youngest of these. B is above the unconformity above all
of C, D, E, and F, so is the youngest of these five.
