    At Red Bluff‚ the Tumblagooda Sandstone in this section is different to the Tumblagooda Sandstone found at Natures Window‚ and thus‚ the deposition environment is different. Red Bluff was most likely deposited in a fluvial-intertidal environment (shallow waters) as indicated by the high abundance of skolithos trace fossils‚ skolithos generally reside in shallow waters (refer to notebook‚ page 58). The higher abundance of trace fossils in the upper section of the sandstone than the lower section suggests

    layers of sand and mud. Under the great pressure from the ground‚ the sand and the mud become sedimentary rock. The minerals combine forming a mould of the plant or animal under the ground. A fossil can be a trace fossil or a body fossil. A body fossil is what actual organic material from a creature or plant (like a bone). Trace fossils are signs of plants and animal activity that have been preserved in rock. For example‚ dinosaur tracks‚ trails and dung are all trace fossils. A body fossil is usually

    matrix in which it exists. Speciation is also important in determining the toxicity of arsenic. Arsenic minerals exist in the environment principally as sulfides‚ oxides‚ and phosphates. In igneous rocks‚ only those of volcanic origin are implicated in high aqueous arsenic concentrations. Sedimentary rocks tend not to bear high arsenic loads‚ and common matrices such as sands and sandstones contain lower concentrations owing to the dominance of quartz and feldspars. Groundwater contamination by arsenic
