Have you ever wondered how sand turns into a rock or how fossils get into a rock? This exhibit will show you the sedimentary portion of the rock cycle. We will have activities that show how sediment (things like sand, silt, clay and shells) forms into rocks, how rocks turn back into sediment and how fossils get into rocks. Various types of sedimentary rocks will on display.
Department of Geosciences, Sedimentary Geochemistry Group
The Sedimentary Geochemistry group studies the history of the Earth's oceans and atmosphere preserved in sedimentary rocks. We are particularly interested in how changes in the climate and environment affected the history of life on our planet.
