They
will

and
from
glacial
erratics,
and
prepare
a

In
this
activity,
students
organize
a
set
of
fossils
chronologically
and
learn
to
correlate,
based
on
fossil
evidence,
the
stratigraphy
of
one
location
with
that
of
an
adjacent
location.
Earth
Science
Reference
Tables
are
used
to
identify
the
epoch
of
occurrence
and
the
age
of
each
of
the
fossil
specimens.
Students
will
become
familiar
with
the
concept
of
