Questions and Topics We Can Help You To Answer: 

This is a pretty neat paper tying together a lot of the subjects that we’ve covered in class: lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, depositional systems, sequence stratigraphy, paleosols, and paleoclimatology. Better yet it combines all of this information to present a complete model of tectonic, environmental, and ecological change. Quite a bit of the paper may be hard to understand, but you should be able to mostly puzzle out what the paper is about.
