Working with outcrops

You can enter and display data from outcrops just as easily as well data.

There are three main steps:

1. When you add a new 'well', set its type as outcrop on the Details tab of the Well: Add/Edit dialog. On the Depths tab relate the datum of the section to sea level.

   



2. Enter all the samples with the type 'outcrop' in the Samples module. Record sample elevations (rather than depths), as positive numbers. Use a negative number for samples below the datum if required. You could use false numbers to order the samples correctly. 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.


3. For charts, enter the top and base depths of the section as positive numbers.
