Rock units seen here: Nerangleigh-Fernvale Beds (Devonian/ Carboniferous) and Brisbane Tuff (Late Triassic)

Guidance notes (things to be thinking about when you write your report)

1) What type of rock is this (lithology)?  Characterise it using all the features you are able decide whether it is either sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks and identify the rock as far as possible. 

2)  Identify the conditions under where the rocks were deposited/ formed.

3) There are two rock units here.  What sort of contact do you think you see between them?
