Question

Assume that you are a Municipal Water Resource Manager reviewing a geologic report for a potential aquifer. The report describes the rock as coarse-fine grain sandstone, with occasional layers of mud and gravel. The report also says that the rock has a reddish color, is cross-bedded, and has occasional fossil shell fragments. The report finally states that this rock is a wind deposit from a former beach. Based on this description of the rock, do you agree with the depositional environment interpretation? Why or why not?

Explanation / Answer
