Stratigraphy is the study of rock layers
(strata) deposited in the Earth. It is one of the
most challenging of geologic sub disciplines,
comparable to an exacting form of detective
work, yet it is also one of the most important
branches of study in the geologic sciences.
Earth's history, quite literally, is written on the
strata of its rocks, and from observing these
layers, geologists have been able to form an
idea of the various phases in that long history.
Naturally, information is more readily
discernible about the more recent phases,
though even in studying these phases, it is
possible to be misled by gaps in the rock
record, known as unconformities.
