Struct contours
Drives field
TASKDefine strat and mappable units
Arrive in field with hypotheses to test
Location of boundary
Thicknesses of units
Through fieldwork
And then compare with “previous work”...
After building their own strat...
Compare with published version on the web-site(also with memoir text)
• Build cross-section• Test Murchison• Add struct data
AIMS
one-day transect to the“Stack of Glencoul” Web-site?
• Show ideal results• Structure tutorial
Simplified cross-section
Interpreted views
Useful “if” theweather is poor
Structural “tutorial”
