Terrane
Gaps in time in the rock record
Index fossils are very important to geologists because they identify geological. The fossil snail is a particularly difficult animal to study.
There is more than one batholith in California. You can find accreted terrane in northern states.

The lithology, age, fossils, and paleomagnetic orientation of a suspect terrane may differ from its host continent.
Terrane
In geology, terrane is a shortened term for tectonostratigraphic terrane. Examples of a terrane would be Lhasa Terrane in Tibet and Pearya Terrane in the United States.

"Terrain" refers to a topographic or geographic landscape configuration--for example, a "hilly terrain," or a "wooded terrain." "Terrane" refers to a lighologic or geologic areal expanse--for example, a "metamorphic terrane," or a "basaltic terrane."
Jacques Terrane's birth name is Jacques Tartire.
color streak and luster
they have to look at the mineral.see what color it is.see the shape.how does it feel to you........?
Jacques Terrane was born on August 23, 1915, in Paris, France.
Some characteristics geologists use to identify minerals are fracture, luster, streak, density, cleavage and hardness. From the choices given, D is the one that is not a characteristic.
