The materials contained in a deposit gives an information about the deposit including the depositional environment and time. Hence, rock containing a sea shell infers that the area of deposition is covered by water.

  • Sea shells are forms of fossils which are remains in rocks and may be used to trace the information about the deposit over geologic time when analysed.

  • Sea shells are protective layers which are formed by sea organisms. Sea shells may include mollusks, barnacles and so on. Hence, they are synonymous with areas covered by large amount of water.

Therefore, the area of deposition of the rock could be said to be covered by water.
