stratigraphic section

In 2003, the recovery of a complete stratigraphic section across the site was completed.

Efforts were then made to find the best representation of that assemblage in a stratigraphic section.

Instead thrust faults generally cause a thickening of the stratigraphic section.

A stratigraphic section is a sequence of layers of rocks in the order they were deposited.

The entire stratigraphic section included rocks dating from the Cretaceous to Pennsylvanian.

This presents the problem of how to correlate zones of like polarities between different stratigraphic sections.

Geochronologists precisely date rocks within the stratigraphic section in order to provide better absolute bounds on the timing and rates of deposition.

Ancient reefs buried within stratigraphic sections are of considerable interest to geologists because they provide paleo-environmental information about the location in Earth's history.

Since oldest rocks are deposited first and lowest in a stratigraphic section, whether one is discussing the rock record is usually clear in context.

This can be a valuable tool for orienting oneself within a stratigraphic section or within a thick lithostratigraphic unit.

In the laboratory, stratigraphers analyze samples of stratigraphic sections that can be returned from the field, such as those from drill cores.

Spacing of the sample sites within a stratigraphic section depends on the rate of deposition and the age of the section.

The northern Gulf of Mexico slope includes a stratigraphic section more than 10 km (6 mi) thick and has been profoundly influenced by salt movement.

Because the age of each reversal shown on the GMPTS is relatively well known, the correlation establishes numerous time lines through the stratigraphic section.

In contrast to GSSAs, GSSPs are based on important events and transitions within a particular stratigraphic section.

Techniques used to study surficial sedimentary rocks include: measuring stratigraphic sections, identifying sedimentary depositional environments and constructing a geologic map.

The base of the Danian is defined at the iridium anomaly which characterized the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (K-T boundary) in stratigraphic sections worldwide.

Clastic rocks of provenance similar to the Barnett dominate the Pennsylvanian part of the stratigraphic section in the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin.

The Tyrrhenian Stage was first defined in 1914 by Arturo Issel to describe the stratigraphic section containing Strombus fossils originally investigated by Gignoux.

In order to provide an independent assessment of this depth threshold a Lopatin time-temperature calculation is presented for a representative stratigraphic section in the Quadrant 44 area (Fig. 5).

The stratigraphic section at Boscán Field consists of sands and shales of Oligocene and Eocene ages deposited in a tidally-influenced fluvial-deltaic depositional setting.

The gorge displays a near-complete stratigraphic section from the red shales of the Queenston Formation to the caprock of the Lockport Formation (dolostone and limestone).

In stratigraphy, weathering of stylolites generates apparent bedding in many stratigraphic sections and loss of material along stylolites can have a result similar to erosion, with significant stratigraphic thinning.

The mineralogy of a komatiite varies systematically through the typical stratigraphic section of a komatiite flow and reflects magmatic processes which komatiites are susceptible to during their eruption and cooling.

Similarly, it is conjectured that the current position of the zinc and lead lodes at Broken Hill may not necessarily be related to their original position along the bedding planes (S0), or vertically within the stratigraphic section.
