Which of the following statements is CORRECT about the accompanying figure? Upper Cambrian Fossils Upper Cambrian Fossils Figure 7.11 Possible unconformities. The time gap between the two groups of fossils is close to 250 million years, thus there is a definite unconformity. Possibly no unconformity is shown in the figure, because there is no considerable time difference represented by the two sets of fossils. There is a definite unconformity because there is a clear variation in the rock types in which the two fossil groups are found. ○ There is a definite unconformity in the figure, because there is a layer devoid of fossils separating the two groups.
