A. Carefully examine Figure 8.12, a surface mine (strip mine) in northeastern Pennsylvania's anthracite coal mining district. Make a list of all of the events that have happened to the fossil plants from the time when they were alive to the time when they were fossils exposed by bulldozers. Your reasoning and number of events may differ from that of other students, because more than one inference is possible about the geologic history of the site.
