The coastline moves landward, inner ramp (sublittoral) sediments will deposit on top of intertidal (littoral) sediments The coastline moves seaward, inner ramp (sublittoral) sediments will deposit on top of intertidal (littoral) sediments The coastline moves landward, intertidal (littoral) sediments will deposit on top of inner ramp (sub littoral) sediments The coastline moves seaward, intertidal (littoral) sediments will deposit on top of inner ramp (sublittoral) sediment Banded Iron Formations were no longer forming in the Paleozoic, because: Most of the iron was used up Most of the oxygen was used up They were eaten by invertebrates The greater mass extinction of the Mesozoic happened. At the Cretaceous - Paleocene boundary At the Devonian -Carboniferous boundary At the Permian - Triassic boundary At the Triassic- Jurassic boundary
