A Rock Core: A cylindrical section of rock that was drilled and contains a layered structure.

A Rock Core: A cylindrical section of rock that was drilled and contains a layered structure. Each layer tells a story about the earth at that time, it s composition, thickness, life forms, etc.
Ice Cores can be drilled in the ice and each layer of ice tells about the climatic conditions of the past.
Activity! Drilling a Rock Core. Stack two hunks of Earth on top of each other. Carefully rotate and push down half of a clear straw into the hunks of earth in a rotating manner. Once you ve drilled through the whole sample, carefully remove the straw and lay it on its side. Use the scissors to cut down the straw exposing the rock layers. Draw the rock layers in your journal.

Limestone. Copyright 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
Limestone is a sedimentary rock made up of calcite (CaCO3) as its main mineral. Some Limestones are formed by chemical deposition and others by the accumulation of shells from small sea creatures. Copyright 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
