Steno's principles puzzle

Layer 1 was deposited Intrusion 2 formed Intrusion 3 formed Layer 4 was deposited Layer 5 was deposited Earth cracked at fault B
 4 was deposited, 5 deposited, 2 formed intrusion, 1 deposited intrusion, 3 formed layer, 6
I think this was the order it went in because as Steno's principle of super-position, newest on top oldest on bottom and that's how I tried to figure this puzzle out.

    You cite superposition, but you then said that 1 happened first?! Try comparing individual formations to each other, and note which are flat layers vs. intrusions.
