A science club was planning a field trip to Calvert Cliffs State Park in Maryland. The purpose of the field trip was to observe rock layers and to record information about the different layers of rock. Before the trip, the students researched rock layers and drew diagrams of different rock layers in their science journals. One diagram showed rock layers that appeared to have moved over time, shown as follows.

After the field trip to Calvert Cliffs, some students stated that they observed rock layers high up on the cliff face similar to the diagrams they made in their science journals. The rock layers were visible due to their different coloration. The students also observed fossils in some of the rock layers. The diagrams of the fossils they observed and the rock layers in the cliffs are shown.
