Brenner Project 4 – Examine the Florida Platform

Brenner Project 4 – Examine the Florida Platform
Brenner Project 4
In this project we will examine the Florida Platform You will need to research the geologic his­
tory of Florida and generate some sort of project (1-­2 page essay, art project, geologic map/dia­
gram, etc.) that captures the geologic "essence" of Florida at one point in time or across a length of time of your own choosing.
Visit the following websites to learn more about the geologic history of Florida ­ • Florida Museum of Natural History • UF/IFAS ­ Florida’s Geological History • USGS
­ A Summary of Findings of the West­Central Florida Coastal Studies Project ­ Early Geologic History • USGS ­ Geologic Map of Florida (with man cross sections, and
regional maps) • Florida DEP Florida Geological Survey ­ Florida’s Geologic History Once you have completed the reading, complete your project.
Demonstrate a knowledge of the geologic history of Florida through a creative and self­deter­
mined/defined project. Here are some ideas:
• You are an "artistic" type, or you simply love to make visual art (drawing, computer ani­
mation, painting, sculpture, etc.): Create a reconstruction of a shallow marine faunal as­
semblage that existed on top of the submerged Florida platform 135 million years ago. Submit a photograph or scan. Visual images must be accompanied by a written
statement explaining the work. • You’re a scuba­enthusiast: Document a "virtual­dive" in an environment (cave, marine, lake) that existed at some point in
Florida’s geologic past. Describe the organisms that you would encounter as well as what the landcape (or marine­scape) would look like. Be creative. Write it up in a
maximum of 1­2 pages and submit. • You are really into Haiku poetry: Write a series of Haiku showing a knowledge of Flor­
ida geologic history. • You are a musician: write a song • You’re interested in Florida history: speculate on how the geologic history of Florida has influenced the
cultural/human history of the state.
