9316177 Archer PIs will conduct sedimentological analyses of the Proterozoic Big Cottonwood Formation, including facies and basin analysis, attempted correlation, and detailed studies of tidal rhythmites. The rhythmites are the oldest yet documented and offer an opportunity to study paleoseasonality, lunar cycles, lunar recession rates, and paleotidal and paleorotational periods, extending knowledge of tidal settings and earth-moon dynamics several hundred million years farther into Earth history.

9316177 Archer PI 将对元古代大三叶杨地层进行沉积学分析，包括相和盆地分析、尝试对比以及潮汐韵律岩的详细研究。 这些韵律岩是迄今为止有记录的最古老的，为研究古季节、月球周期、月球退行率以及古潮汐和古自转周期提供了机会，将潮汐环境和地月动力学的知识扩展到地球历史的几亿年。
