If you refer to Table 1: Sedimentary Depositional Environments notice that several of the same rocks appear in different rows, associated with different depositional environments. For example, the rock shale can be found in many different places – deep ocean, lakes, lagoons, continental shelf/slope, submarine fans. Explain how you could determine which of the possible environments the sample of shale actually formed?
