Objective(s): To examine field exposures and record geological information; to collect samples for laboratory study; to interpret the environments in which they formed, the post-depositional alteration they suffered, and their economic mineral potential;
Project Description: The Researchers will study sedimentary rocks and fossils that were formed more than 350 million years ago in warm tropical seas. The study helps to interpret the ancient environments and will outline which rock units were most favourable to generating and hosting economic mineral deposits.
