Learning GOAL You will examine a complex series of rock layers and identify which stuctural
features are importam for determining the geologic history. This will help you to classify the
nature of a major unconformity and describe its geologic. rignificure. A Figure AB.6.1A is a
photogriph of part of the bottom of the Gind Canyon, which extends cast io west acros nonhem
Arizona Tac photo was taken wes of Grand Canyon Vilage on the south rim of the Canyon,
looking at the north side of the botsom of the canyoa. Carefaliy analyme the phoiograph for roct.
layering. The very botiom rock layers in the foreground are folded Precamibrian metannombic
rock called the Vishinu Schis, whech contains narrow white bodier of igneous rock. The Vichna
Schist is oresiain here by relatively horizontal layers of sedincatary rock. Figure A 8.6.1 1. Using
a pen or colored pencil on Fig. A8.6.18, carefully trace the contact between the Vishnu Schist
and the relatively horizontal sedimentary rocks abone it. 2. Based on Figs. 8.2-8.10, what
specific kind of uneonformity occurs along the contact you just traced on Fig. A8.6.1B? B
REFLECT &. DISCUSS The Vishnu Schist has a numerical age of about 1700 million years.
The Lower Cambrian Tapeats Sandstone was deposited on top of the unconformity that yoe
considered in part A . Imagine that you find reliable infor: mation indicating that the Tapeats
Sandstone was deposited at the very start of the Cambrian Period. About bow much time is
represented by the rock record that is "missing" across this unconformity-missing in the sense of
erosion, nondeposition, of both prior to deposition of the Tapeats Sandstone on the erosional
surface at the top of the Vishnu Schist? C Figure A8.6.2A is another photograph of part of the
bottom of the Grand Canyon. The photo was taken east of Grand Canyon Village on the south
rim of the Canyon, looking at the north side of the canyon. All of the rocks in this scene are
sedimentary rocks. 1. Analyze this canyon scene. Then, using a pen or colored pencil on Fig.
A8.6.2B, carefully trace the contact that marks a significant unconformity in the photo. 2. What
kind of unconformity did you identify? Figure A 8.6.2 D REFLECT & DISCUSS What
evidence did you apply to justify drawing an unconformity where you did on Fig. A8.6.2
