1 Figure 12.4d Principle of Original Lateral Continuity strata (layers) extend laterally until they thin to nothing (pinch out) at the edge of the depositional basin

2 Figure 12.4 f Principle of Inclusions any piece of a rock that has become included in another rock must be older than the host rock

3 Figure 12.4g Principle of Baked Contacts igneous rocks “bakes” the surrounding rocks and must be younger than the rocks it bakes

4 Figure 10.4 Lab Manual Disconformity – sometimes hard to recognize

5 Figure 10.4 Lab Manual Angular Unconformity – obvious time break

6 Figure 12.8a Siccar Point, Scotland

7 Figure 10.4 Lab Manual Nonconformity

8 Figure 8.5 lab manual
