https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj When varve counting, we assume each light and dark layer is together 1 year. Describe your challenges or successes with this method en-us 2018-02-22 13:21:59 UTC 2018-02-22 17:29:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234218641 Trying to count the varves was kinda hard because they was ones that were all together and you didn’t know if they were separate layers or just one layer all together and also trying to count the ones that kinda broke off and slanted. Also trying to count especially when they blended together or they were so close together and not being able tell if they were light or dark.]]> 2018-02-22 14:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234218641 https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234219380 Counting the varves was easy but it was frustrating when we missed some and had to restart counting which happened atleast 4 times. The varves that’s where close together were hard to count and annoying since they where so small. The small connected layers make it alot  harder because you can’t see the light colored varves.]]> 2018-02-22 14:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234219380 https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234219933 When counting the varves it is sometimes difficult because some of the layers were smushed together and it was difficult to count how many layers there actually were. Some had a huge chunk of dark layers and it was difficult to see how many layers were actually there. Some layers also combined together so you couldn’t tell if it was 2 different layers or if it was just one layer.]]> 2018-02-22 14:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234219933 https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234221995 When I was counting the varves I got caught up some times where a single varve would start at the top but towards the middle of the varve it would split into two, so right there I would get stuck in deciding if it was 1 or 2 varves.]]> 2018-02-22 14:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234221995 https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234222971 I found it difficult because of how the layers were stacked. Some of the darker layers were in abundance and most of them were almost transparent, or gray. Most of the layers broke off slanted or split into two, due to this counting layers is very inaccurate ]]> 2018-02-22 14:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234222971 https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234223381 When we are counting the varves it is kinda frustrating and you might not be counting all the varves ]]> 2018-02-22 14:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234223381 bonillajor https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234224873 Counting varves wasn’t hard at all because both dark and light were pretty visible and I wasn’t having trouble with anything. The method is meant for people to count layers and varves without trouble but the intersecting layers mess it up because it makes it harder to count]]> 2018-02-22 14:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234224873 https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234225542 It was very difficult to tell some of them apart]]> 2018-02-22 14:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234225542 https://padlet.com/wismerd/rjrnga4rtumj/wish/234359944 I liked varve counting because it was fun but it wasn’t easy counting the layers because of how small they were so I would say that this is not reliable because it doesn’t tell you the absolute age.
