Past environment
Ok, so... you know that these are sedimentary rocks, because they're bedded, right?
Now, the first sample you saw was well-sorted with sand-sized grains.
If you identified this rock as a sandstone, nice job!!
What about the second sample. It was well sorted, and very fine grained.
Siltstone?? Right again!!
Great! So you've identified the two rocks that make up the lower rock unit.
