Front of Web-site content location historical 3D viz (struct contours) Examples (field slips) CLICK FOR HINTS AND SOLUTIONS

Photo-interp Pre-trip Lab Struct contours Drives field
8
TASK Define strat and mappable units Arrive in field with hypotheses to test Location of boundary Thicknesses of units Through fieldwork And then compare with previous work...
9
After building their own strat... Compare with published version on the web-site (also with memoir text)

Build cross-section Test Murchison Add struct data AIMS one-day transect to the Stack of Glencoul Web-site? Show ideal results Structure tutorial
11
Simplified cross-section
12
Interpreted views Useful if the weather is poor

Raw field slip Un-inked ADD ANNOTATION Not from their mapping area !
15
Raw field slip Un-inked Also show inking-in….
