Page 036    a19 Steno's three fundamental stratigraphical principles

1 T or F: A principle of science is that life is merely a dream.
2 T or F: Mountain lion = couger = panther = Puma
3 T or F: Steno in Prodromus argues that fossils were not grown in place in the rock that contains them.
4 T or F: At the Vor Frue school, Denmark, Steno was served Borch in bowls by his Latin teacher .
5 T or F: Principle of superposition can be applied to know the temporal order of layers in any rock.
6 T or F: Principle of superposition has led to an appreciation of deep time.
7 T or F: Principle of original horizontality applies to sedimentary strata and not to bedding.

1 T or F:  Strata inclined to the horizon were at one time parallel to the horizon.
2 T or F:  Where the lateral continuity of the strata is missing, erosion or faulting can be inferred.
3 T or F:  St. Paul buried sharks teeth called Glossopterae on Malta.
3 T or F:  Fill against a normal-fault face or a valley side has a butress unconformity in between.
