Part of the "Shear Zone" video channel. An introduction to seismic stratigraphy and the creation of chronostratigraphic charts. The image is from the Virtual Seismic Atlas.
Yes - it can be difficult. The best evidence comes from the geometry of the top-lap/erosion surface - if it incises down (so is rough not smooth) into the upward terminating reflectors below... then it's erosion....
Excellent presentation. Clear, concise, and well illustrated.
Thanks. It becomes clear, simple and easy.
I'm geologist and thank you for this effort.
A good example that only those who master difficult concepts can make them easy access for ALL.
Thanks - glad you found this helpful....
Great work Rob!!!
Thank you, your video is principle and easy to understand!
thank you so much for this break through
Thank you, it is very good explanation and very useful for me.
Great video and and well explained Rob thank you 😊, I wish there was an example for the offlap scenario too
Thanks - glad you found it useful. Offlap - is essentially what happens at the end of the video....
Great Work. I cant Express my gratitute. Please make videos on thrust tectonics and fold belts.
Genius.
How to differentiate between erosional truncation and top lap on seismic data?
Yes - it can be difficult. The best evidence comes from the geometry of the top-lap/erosion surface - if it incises down (so is rough not smooth) into the upward terminating reflectors below... then it's erosion....
