Graphic Correlation

Interactively create an interpreted age model, using picked or generated events and a composite standard.

Biostratigraphic events (user-defined or generated automatically from the occurrence data) can be cross-plotted with a standard event scheme. Manipulate the depth/age line via drag-and-drop nodes, with all the contextual data to hand. Highlight unconformities and breaks, and assign confidence ranges to sections. The resulting age model can be used to generate other interpretations, or to visualise sections on an age scale.

The event data model, which underpins these features, links back to the taxonomic database. In event schemes, dictionary events are assigned ages. Event schemes can be plotted as stratigraphic range diagrams, including taxon images. In wells, the dictionary events are linked to samples (depths), and can be correlated between sections.
