Of Sedimentary Rock Of Sedimentary Rock

--- DETAIL--- --- GENERAL---
Bird Eye View
1. Outcrop Geometry and dimension General info
2. Lithology unit (divide lateral & vertical lithology OC (outcrop) name : > i.e. Route Name + date (DDMMYY)
continuity; wedging, stacking). + order of OC = Ab100510-08
3. Rhytm (f/u, c/u, blocky, thin/u, intercal, interbed) GPS noted in book & sample bag
4. Contact every lithology unit (erosiaonal, gradational, Geographic sketches of OC (plan view) & its geographic
sharp) direction
5. Mega sedimentary structure (if any) Clear OC from covers
6. Drawing in field scale Determine Bedding Plane & Way-up direction, OC Rhytm,
& its Geological structure
Ant View OC sketch, dimension & sketch direction
1. Color Strike/dip measureent (more than 1 measurement) + dip
2. Grain size (sh cg bldr) direction,
3. Grain shape (roundness & sphericity) OC plotted in Map & coloring
4. Grain contact (point, planar, concave-convex, suture) Photo OC & its direction (always photo and landscape
5. Grain component & fragment (polymic/monomic, ident., photo)
size, roundness) Similarity of OC with Local Stratigraphic Unit (formation)
6. Matrix type (finer sand, shale, etc) ----------------------------------------------
7. Test by HCl Stratigraphy
8. Grain accesories & modifier (tuffaceous, clayey, Rhytm, field scale (i.e. 1:100), Paleocurrent
glauconite, etc)
9. Cement (silica, carbonate/dolomite, Fe-Ox, Clay, siderite, Sample
anhydrite) Shaly sediment for BIOSTRATIGRAPHY (fossil contained?)
10.Sorting (vw.sort, w.sort, m.sort, p.sort, vp.sort) & GEOCHEMISTRY
11.Fabric (matrix supported?, clay supprted?) Sandy sediment, conglomerat/breccia & its fragments for
12.Hardness of clastic (loose, friable, hard, v.hard) PETROGRAPHIC, XRD, RCAL
Hardness of non-clastic (plastic, soft, firm, indurate, hard, Sample name: i.e. Route Name + Date + Order of OC +
brittle) Order of sample = Cd130610-08-03
13.Porosity & permeability (type & quality (poor, med, Sampel number written on bag w/ water-proof ink
good)) Note coordinates on sample bag
14.Macro fossil type (pelecypod, brachipod, etc) Take FRESH sample & minimn fistful sized
15.Primary sed. struct. (graded, crossbed, par-lam, etc) Sample also need for hand speciment (no lab.
16.Secondary sed. struct. (sole marks, etc) analysis) or as evidence
17.Biogenic structures type (thallasinoides, ophiomorpha,
etc) Structure: Joint, Fault, Fold, Clavage
18.Adjective (calcareous, dolomitic)
19.Carbonates: test by alizalin red-s describe color & its %
20. Paleocurrent measurements
