Interbedding

In geology, Interbedding occurs when beds (layers or rock) of a particular lithology lie between or alternate with beds of a different lithology. [ [http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/glossary/glossary_I.html UCMP glossary] ucmp.berkeley.edu Retrieved on- March 2008] For example, sedimentary rocks may be interbedded if there were sea level variations in their sedimentary depositional environment.cite web |url=http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/topogeo/tbr/tbrintro.aspx | title = Trenton and Black River Carbonates in the Union Furnace Area of Blair and Huntingdon Counties, Pennsylvania : Introduction| date= 2004-05-26|work=Field Trip Guidebook for the Eastern Section AAPG Annual Meeting, September 10, 2003 and the PAPG Spring Field Trip, May 26, 2004 |accessdate=2008-06-14| author= Harper, John A.|coauthors= Christopher D.
