The principle of Uniformitarianism means that
The geologic events that we see happening today have happened in the past
The index fossils in the rocks and the type of rock
The rock layers were overturned.
Cryptolithus
The sedimentary rock layers
The rock it made contact with is older
Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian
correlation
Contact metamorphism, when found within rock layers, is proof that
