I think the order from newest to oldest is 3, 1, 6, 2, 5, 4. I think it is this order because 3 is an intrusion and it goes through everything. Then 1 because it is on top then 6 because its right below 1. Then 2 because it is another intrusion but it doesn't go through 1 or 6 because 1 and 6 happened after number 2's intrusion. And number 2 goes through 5 and 4. After 2 I think number 5 because even though number 5 and 4 and slanted, 5 looks like it is just a little bit higher. And the oldest would be 4.
