Working with outcrops
You can enter and display data from outcrops just as easily as well data.
There are three main steps:
- Identify the section as an outcrop on the Details tab of the Well: Add/Edit dialog in the Wells & Outcrops module.
- Enter all the samples as Outcrops (OC) in the Samples module. Record sample elevations (rather than depths), as positive numbers. Relate the datum of the section to Sea Level. Use a negative number for samples below the datum if required. If you need to use false numbers to order the samples correctly do so. You can enter a sample label (e.g. the sample collection number or location) as well if you wish and display this on a chart instead of or as well as the sample elevation.
- Select the highest sample (largest positive number) as the top sample in Charts. When the symbolic sample types option (Panel | Insert | Biostratigraphy | Options tab) is switched OFF a sample label is plotted. When the option is switched ON samples are displayed as depths/heights.
