Turbidites are deposited from slurries of sediment and water in any standing body of water (lakes, oceans). A description of turbidites as an example of facies. Stratigraphy as the distribution of rock in space and time. (2019)
The basic idea is for the geologist to identify fossils in the stratigraphic columns, compare them to the ranges of those organisms know from previous studies, and then interpret the age of the rocks ...The basic idea is for the geologist to identify fossils in the stratigraphic columns, compare them to the ranges of those organisms know from previous studies, and then interpret the age of the rocks from documented extinction and species origination events.
