Provides a general introduction to sedimentary rocks, sedimentary processes, and the depositional environments in which these rocks form. Stratigraphic concepts are introduced with specific reference to the relationship between sedimentary rock units. Laboratories focus on the identification of sedimentary rocks and structures in hand specimen. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): GEOL 114.2 or GEOL 121.3; and PHYS 115.3, PHYS 155.3, or PHYS 156.3; and CHEM 112.3, CHEM 114.3, or CHEM 146.3; and MATH 110.3, MATH 123.3, MATH 133.4 or MATH 176.3. Note: Students with GEOG 120 or 112 instead of GEOL 121 may take this course with permission of the department. Students with credit for GEOL 243 may not take this course for credit.
