ments is preserved from the low-ul unit directly underlying the coralline limestone. Therefore the ove the two correlated outcrops would be that a transgression occurred when t moved to the left, and then a terrestrial pyroclastic event was follo when the relative position of the shoreline returned nearly to its original position. The Bariation in thickness of the wavy-bedded cherty limestone from outcrop A to outcrop B can be indicated by a facies change. he shoreline followed by a regression EXERCISES Exercise 3-5 CORRELATION EXERCISES In the next several parts to this exercise, there will be two or more columns of lithostrati- graphic units to correlate by drawing in the lines at points of equivalence. Part A 1. Correlate the sections in Figure 3.15(a) and (b) on the basis of similar lithologies.
