Student Name: EarthSc 1G03: Earth and the Environment Student Number: Fall 2020 Lab 2: Sedimentary Rocks and Escarpment Virtual Field Trip Lab Total: 61 Marks Part A: Sedimentary Rocks 1. For each of the following clastic sedimentary rock samples, determine the composition, texture and other properties, colour, water energy and rock name. (20 marks) Sample Composition Textural and Other Properties Colour Water Energy (High or Low) Rock Name a. b. c. d. 2. For each of the following biochemical or chemical sedimentary rock samples, determine the composition, texture and other properties, colour, and rock name. (12 marks) Sample Composition Textural and Other Properties Colour Rock Name a. b. c. Part B: Escarpment Virtual Field Trip 3. Using the Rock Chapel Virtual Field Trip determine the following for each formation: rock type and colour, grain size, formation and bedding thickness. Identify any fossils or other features. (29 marks) Formation Rock Type & Colour (1) Grain Size (1) Formation Thickness (1) (In metres) Bedding Thickness (1) (In metres) Fossils (1) (name fossils found) Other Observations (1) Lockport Formation – Ancaster Member N/A N/A Lockport Formation – Gasport Member N/A Rochester Formation N/A Irondequoit Formation N/A Reynales Formation N/A N/A Thorold Formation Lab 2: Rock Chapel Field Trip Earth Sc 1G03 Lab 2 Part B: Virtual Field Trip Rock Chapel, Hamilton Wahoo Join us on a virtual tour to Rock Chapel in Hamilton Rock Chapel McMaster University Walk to the Geology Exhibit Walk the stairs down to the Lowest Formation We will be starting the virtual tour at the oldest formation and working our way up Formation Thickness: From 2-4 m Thorold Formation Composed of both sandstone and shale Thorold Formation Shale Thorold Formation Sandstone Fine Medium Thorold Formation Feature found at the Thorold Formation Thorold Formation Thorold Formation Feature found at the Thorold Formation Formation Thickness: ~2m Reynales Formation Dolostone with thin shale interbeds Reynales Formation Reynales Formation Features found at the Reynales Formation Chert Nodule Reynales Formation Reynales Formation Video – Dolostone reacts with Acid when powdered Reynales Formation Formation Thickness: From 1-2 m Irondequoit Formation Unit appears massive Irondequoit Formation Feature found at the Irondequoit Formation Irondequoit Formation Fossils found in the Irondequoit Formation. What type of fossils are these? Irondequoit Formation Irondequoit Formation Feature found at the Irondequoit Formation Formation Thickness: From 0.5-2 m Rochester Formation Rochester Formation Thinly Bedded Rochester Formation Support Beams Broken Rocks Rochester Formation Formation Thickness: From 2-3m Lockport Formation – Gasport Member Unit appears massive Lockport Formation – Gasport Member Lockport Formation – Gasport Member Feature found at the Lockport Formation Fossils Lockport Formation – Gasport Member Lockport Formation – Gasport Member Feature found at Lockport Formation – Gasport Member Formation Thickness: From 3-6m Lockport Formation – Ancaster Member Well fractured and thinly bedded (5-10cm) Chert Lockport Formation – Ancaster Member Fizz!
