| WHAT
IS HIGH RESOLUTION BIOSTRATIGRAPHY? |
 |
- Very detailed
fossil analysis of each sample at 30/60 foot intervals plotted
on a checklist (species vs. depth) with abundance of each species
- ”Tops”
of marker species, numerical ages (Ma) and zones.
- Sample-by-sample
paleobathymetry and paleoenvironment
- Species
diversity and abundance histograms
- All data
available on CD in LAS or ASCII file format and “Workstation”
ready
|
| APPLICATIONS
OF HIGH RESOLUTION BIOSTRATIGRAPHY: |
 |
- Age date
seismic reflectors
- Age date
stacked condensed sections
- Seismic
Sequence Stratigraphic analysis
- Reservoir
Sequence Stratigraphic analysis
- Nineteen
(19) different groups of microfossils worldwide
- Cenozoic,
Mesozoic and Paleozoic
- Graphic
correlation plots: find unconformities, faults and reworked species
sedimentation rates, age and length of time of missing section
- Pore Pressure
