2. b. (note: according to what we have told you in lab, neither alluvium nor shale qualify as parent material using our definition. Alluvium is the method of transport that is used along with the material to describe parent material, and shale is a rock, not a parent material. Of the choices left that are parent material, glacial till is the one not found in the Nittany Valley area.)
