Earthcache Classifications

I recently came across a challenge where you need to find 20 of 22 Earthcache classifications. There is a ProjectGC checker but some of my earthcaches were tagged as unclassified so I am trying to find something to help me classify them correctly. I'm not seeing anything short of looking up each type individually. Can I also guess that some may fit into more than 1 category?

 

West Beach Succession Trail (GC6BCH8)                 geologic time
Hazen's Brigade Monument (GCAW6XE)                   historical site
A Violent Explosion (GC5YQCF)                                  Igneous (volcanic) feature
Dramatic Cliffs: The Palisades (GC87341)                geomorphological feature                   
Hot Springs Water (GC6KVQP)                                    hydrologic feature
National Seashore NC (GC9FQGV)                             coastal feature
Urban Geology: Ripple Marks (GCA3M3T)                 sedimentary feature
Fossil Expedition on the Mississippi! (GC9YPMV)   fossil site
STRI: The Slaughter Pen (GCAW5K0)                         cave/karst feature (do karren fit into this type?)

That list hasn't been updated in ages. GSA fell behind and stopped adding to it.
