Lithocorrelations
Well Logs
Measure electric, gamma, sonic, and many other parameters (Fig. 13.22, p. 483)
Example of St. Genevieve in southern Illinois and use of Landmark software (show

Seismic Reflections
Mechanism
a. artificial propagation of seismic (elastic) waves (Fig. 14.1, p. 488)
b. reflected back to surface at discontinuities
c. velocities = 2 km/sec (some sediments) to 8 km/sec (ultramafics)
d. knowing the velocity allows calculation of the depth of the reflector
e. first studied in 1848 by Robert Malletin England
f. variable-density mode display
Reflection Geometries
a. Rich (1951) (Fig. 14.7, p. 495)
undaform platform top
clinoform platform margin
fondaform - basin
b. reflection categories (Fig. 14.4 14.6, p. 492-494)
