Homework Help: earth sceince

A fault is observed in a road cut, but there are no obvious rock units to correlate on either side of the fault to determine relative movement. How else might you determine or even infer whether the hanging wall has moved up or down relative to the footwall? (Hint: Think of fossils, tectonic setting, etc.)
