Conventional Stratigraphy

Stump et al. (1988) reported that four layers of diamictite occur in the Goldie Formation at Panorama Point at the north end of The Palisades (82°50 S, 159°10 E) located at the conflnence of the Marsh and Nimrod Glaciers shown in Eig. 5.7. The thickest of the diamictite beds (about 6 m) is overlain by a large

These techniques are normally adequate to answer most of the questions encountered on archaeological sites however, complex stratigraphy and unusual soil conditions can present a more difficult problem. In this chapter, we explore what additional information might be provided by a more comprehensive elemental analysis. Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was chosen because it provides concentration data for both the major elements usually obtained by conventional techniques and the trace elements used in many provenance studies. 

Unlike conventional oil and gas reservoirs, structure and stratigraphy often play a secondary role in the accumulation of hydrocarbons within a BCGS, primarily because of the dynamics associated with the abnormal pressure generation (Law 1984a,b, 1985, 1995 Masters 1979, 1984 Nuccio et al. 1992). BCGSs are often not in static capillary equilibrium which is usually manifested by capillary pressure transitions that are more a function of two-phase capillary seals than from structural closure (Iverson 1994 ...
