Correlating Sedimentary Strata Kit

Student groups use four unique LAB-AIDS® Simulated Drill Cores, each representing a fictitious series of rock layers from a different location. They then use the evidence from each drill core to create a stratigraphic column - a diagram of the rock layers and the fossils they contain - for each locality. Based on the fossils contained within the layers, students are asked to determine how the layers in each locality correlate to the layers from the other localities. They are then challenged to use this fossil evidence to construct a time line showing the relative time spans of each species represented by the fossils.
