3. Correlate the three sections below. (Note that the limestone unit is present only in sections A and B, and that it is much thinner in section B. It has thinned to the point where it is not present at all in section C.) This is called a pincbout. WEST EAST Scale (meters) A B 1 0 a. What type of sequence (transgressive? regressive? or transgressive- regressive?) is represented here, as indicated by the vertical sequence of facies? b. Label the column on the left with up-pointing arrows to indicate the part of the sequence which represents a transgression (T), and the part which represents a regression (R). Label the arrows T or R. C. These sediments were deposited in an ancient sea. Based on the rock types, which facies (not section) was deposited nearest to the mainland? d. Which facies (not section) was deposited farthest from the land? e. In which direction (west or east) was the land? f. Explain your reasoning for your answer to question e.
