Transcript

00:00

Yeah Oh All right people don't tell a geologist that

00:11

there's nothing left to explore Geologists are still exploiting learning

00:15

about land that was mapped seventy years ago right They

00:19

expand on old work all the time by using modern

00:21

exploration techniques Way also liked the look of things on

00:25

different scales You know local regional global A study on

00:29

the great plain states of South Dakota Nebraska aims to

00:31

clarify and correlate the physical characteristics of rocks and paleo

00:35

fauna on a regional scale Well figure one thing right

00:40

here chose the strata Graphic relationships of some of the

00:43

Great Plains formations Strata graphic columns show older rocks at

00:48

the bottom and younger rock units toward the top Right

00:52

there All right so here it is That's the data

00:54

representing when all the crap is studying Okay And they

00:58

can kind of skim all this stuff you need Teo

01:00

But just go right to the question based on the

01:03

information and figure one The Sharps formation is located in

01:08

which epoch come back Great word All right Well the

01:14

Sharps formation isn't looking to sharpen the given figure here

01:18

Maybe if we knew what epoch it's from well we

01:21

could give it some era appropriate style advance You think

01:25

Well there's a lot going on and figure one here

01:26

so it kind of staring at it The first thing

01:28

to do would be to find the thing labeled Sharps

01:31

formation Yeah that's a good place to start Well the

01:34

sharper formation is dressed all in tan in the middle

01:37

of the image judging from the fact that it looks

01:39

like a drawing of something Well we Khun guess that

01:42

the Sharps formation is one of the rocks being studied

01:45

in this drastic graphic column as the passage calls for

01:49

your one Right Well so if we look at the

01:51

left hand side of figure one way over here there's

01:54

a column labeled eh Pockets top right there It's kind

01:56

of like you have to go find it like one

01:58

of those games Three of them shmoop There's only one

02:01

thing listed in that column So we could assume that

02:04

everything we're looking at is from the only ghost seen

02:08

epic Yeah that's that's how you pronounce that we think

02:12

All right well Eric Carrion and Whitney and Andy There

02:16

are part of the now Mama North American Land Mammal

02:19

Ages column And the place to scene is an epic

02:22

that isn't labeled in this figure So we'll go out

02:24

on a limb and say that it's probably not that

02:27

one So yeah the answer is B on ly go

02:29

scene like an oligarchy Gora oligopoly or just a Oleg
