University of Tasmania Sample for Second-Year Sedimentology This assignment is designed to assess your understanding of fundamental concepts in sedimentology as covered in lectures and laboratory exercises throughout the semester. It focuses on practical application of theoretical knowledge through the interpretation of a real-world sedimentary example. The sample is taken from a previously glaciated valley in the Tasmanian wilderness, where it has been subjected to various geological processes over millions of years. Your task is to analyze this sample, identify its components, and provide a detailed explanation of how these components relate to the geological history of the area. Please follow these instructions carefully: 1. Describe the lithology and texture of the sample. 2. Identify the sedimentary structures present in the sample and explain their origin. 3. Discuss the implications of your findings for understanding the geological history of the area, including the role of glaciation and other processes in shaping the landscape. This assignment is worth 20% of your overall grade for this subject. It is expected to be submitted by the due date specified on the course schedule, unless otherwise arranged with your lecturer. To complete this assignment successfully, you should have a solid understanding of sedimentary rocks, their formation, and the processes that shape our planet's surface.
