Johnson). He has to continually search all around Western North America to find fossils and then he has to dig the fossil’s up which can be scattered across land. It can be hard to find certain forms of sedimentary rock that have fossils in them, it can take a long time to get to the sedimentary rock (Hays). Another obstacle is that he has to base his research about past climate on just fossil leaves. It’s first hard to find fossil leaves but also it’s hard to determine if it’s an actual fossil…

given an observation journal to record primary data about the two types of rocks, at Coomera (Nucrush Quarry) and at Springwood Conservation Park. To maintain an equal representation, secondary data will be used to refer to the main points. On our field trip, we went to Nucrush Quarry at Coomera. Nucrush offer a range of products that are all made from a sedimentary rock by the name of, Greywacke. Figure 1: The Rock Cycle According to figure 1, greywacke is formed deep under the sea. The…

The Badlands formed from a complex geologic setting. The topography that we see today is formed from erosion of the soft and not well-consolidated rocks. The oldest rocks found at The Badlands National Park are the Upper Cretaceous mudstones of the Pierre Shale (Graham, 2008). Overlying the Pierre Shale is the Fox Hills Formation, and overlying the Fox Hills Formation is the Tertiary White River Group. The White River Group contains a paleosol that are bright red. Overlying the Fox Hills…

on October 18th, 1964 and was later released on November 23rd, 1964. At this certain point in time the Beatles main genre was rock, and certainly the fans were absolutely going wild over it. This song was recorded for their album “Beatles ’65!” and spent a total of eleven weeks at the number one spot on the charts! As for what else that was happening during the genre of rock in 1964, artists such as The Four Seasons, and The Beach Boys were releasing music to claim spots on the music charts. At…

leaves and the light grayish blue rocks, and the small touch of yellow flower on the right side of the photograph, the combination of the color adds drama and it gives balance to the whole picture. The texture of the rock from the picture looks…

type of shale rocks are chosen because they are “local” rocks which was abundant and available in the lab, also they have very similar mineralogical compositions. Both of the shale samples are provide by the SEER lab (Abiola). Before the tests, samples are cut into piece from the core with thickness about 1 in, and polished to make the top and bottom surfaces parallel. All tests are proceed on Nanovea Indenter perpendicular to the bedding direction. As natural material, the shale rock…

1. Short summary of the history At 145 ± 4 to 66 million years (Ma) ago, Cretaceous period was the last period of the Mesozoic Era, right after Jurassic period and followed by the Paleogene period of the Cenozoic Era (International Commission Chart, 2014). 'Creta' in Latin means chalk and this is due to the large amount of calcium carbonate deposited by shells of marine animals thus resulting in large quantities of chalk (American Geological Institute, 1972). The shifting of continents as the…

intruded country rock with different igneous compositions. These compositions ranged from alkaline to mafic to rhyolitic based on their interactions as they made their way to the surface with country rock. Mafic magma interacts well with host rock while rhyolitic magma does not due to its high viscosity.…

latitude 20∘44’S, longitude 139∘29’E and is in Queensland (Forrestal, 1990). Generally, this ore deposit contained 123 g/t copper, 5.0% lead and 7.0% zinc at 4.8 Mt. The host rock of this deposit consists of pyritic shale, carbonaceous shale, dolomitic siltstone, carbonate, granite, ironstone and metasedimentary cover rocks (Hutton et al. 2012). Deposit genesis The ore deposit genesis is considered to have occurred in the Urquhart Shale, deep water and black shale environment, shallow water…

massive impact on the Australian music industry and in fact worldwide rock and roll. In 1973 rock and roll was change by two brothers, they created a phenomenal legacy a legendary Australian rock band. The produced a whopper 200 million worldwide album sales and alone in the USA published 71.5 million, together the Scottish brothers that originated create a history rock and roll book.
