The Paleozoic metasediments seen in die Northern Appalachian cross section below

Question

The Paleozoic metasediments seen in die Northern Appalachian cross section below were originally sediments that eroded from a large mountain range to the East. These sediments were metamorphosed when Europe and North America Paleozoic Appalachian Mountains in the I.ate Paleozoic. If we were to construct a Late Paleozoic lithofacies map (see Lab 4) of this area, we would see an ocean to the west, and a large mountain range to the east, very different from the geography we see today. Using this information and the cross section below, answer questions 5-8. Using the geologic time scale, place each of the rock types shown in the cross section above in order, from oldest to youngest. Which rock types are the same age?
