StrataData offer a comprehensive biostratigraphical analysis and interpretation service through a number in-house specialists and associates with particular expertise with ostracods, foraminifera, calcareous algae, nannofossils, palynomorphs, radiolaria and diatoms. All fossil groups can be dealt with - StrataData will always find an expert in the appropriate field!
StrataData staff and associates benefit from the backup of in-house computing expertise and StrataBugs software which is an ideal tool for biostratigraphic data management and interpretation. They can also call on specialist advice in the fields of, seismic and sequence stratigraphy, mathematical geology and geochronology (Strontium isotope, Radiocarbon and OSL analyses) for dating, correlation and palaeoenvironmental interpretation.
StrataData is, therefore, particularly well placed to re-organise and re-interpret existing biostratigraphic databases, to integrate with other geological data, and perform complete review studies.
Biostratigraphic analyses can be carried out on sample preparations supplied by clients, but StrataData also offers sample preparation at competitive rates. The results of routine biostratigraphic work carried out by StrataData are presented in standard reports, usually issued within six weeks of receipt of the last samples. Standard reports include a summary of results, full discussion of the conclusions and if appropriate, StrataBugs-generated distribution charts and interpreted geological data charts. The first two copies of any report are free of charge. Report on non-routine projects may be discussed at the start of the project and we will always make sure that the results of a study are not forced into a rigid format.
