The principles of stratigraphy help to develop a sequence of rock layers. In the figure to the left, the oldest rocks are on the bottom (sandstones). The sandstones represent rocks deposited in a shallow marine environment. The younger rocks reveal an environment change into a tidal area. Through time the tidal area evolves into a lagoon and
