Rock Layers


Layer 3 is 1st or newest
Layer 1 is 2nd
Layer 6 is 3rd
Layer 2 is 4th
Layer 5 is 5th
and Layer 4 is 6th or oldest.

My reasoning for this is that layer 3 is newest due to Intrusion it pushed itself up to the top. Layer 1 is newer than layer 6 because of superposition just like with layer 5 and 4, 5 is newer because it is placed above layer 4. Layer 2 was tough but I put it as 4th because it is newer due to intrusion but it looks like layers 1 and 6 got put on top of layer 2 so it had already intruded through the layers causing 1 and 6 to be newer.
