The figure below represents sedimentary layers in a single geographic location. Use

Layer C is a fine-grained sandstone with cross-bedding and land animal fossils. No
marine fossils are present. Under what conditions did it most likely form?

fossils suggest that the area was dry, sandy land, such as a desert.

U
C) The presence of marine fossils in a limestone confirms that this rock layer formed in an ocean.
