GEOL 360 Sedimentology & Stratigraphy & Lab 6 credits
This course is based on field examination of outcrops of Lower Paleozoic sedimentary rock. We will interpret the processes involved in the creation, movement, and deposition of these ancient sediments, and try to determine their paleoenvironments. Also of interest are the transformation of these sediments into rock, and the analysis and correlation of strata. Weekly laboratories and two weekend trips are required. Please note the late laboratory times. Both paleobiology and geomorphology prepare students for work in sedimentology. This course is intended for upper-class Geology majors, and much of the work is done in teams.
During registration, students will register for both the lecture and a corresponding lab section, which will appear on the student's academic transcript in a single entry.
Extra Time Required: Weekend field trips.
