27. earthquake
28. siltstone, limestone, granite, shale, vesicular basalt, sandstone

Inference 2: the shale is under the sandstone
Inference 3: the limestone and granite are folded, eroded, and have a separate intrusion that doesn't cut through the shale
Inference 4: the limestone was metamorphosed by the granite intrusion, so the limestone must have been there before the granite intrusion
