Knowledge graph centered on paleocurrent analysis with 12 nodes and 21 connections. Top connected: jar method, sediment grain size, Stratigraphic section measurement, Ophiomorpha, Sedimentology of braided alluvial interval of Dako.
Description
Systematic measurement of paleocurrent directions from sedimentary structures using compass bearings, followed by statistical analysis to determine transport directions and consistency ratios.
Typical Equipment
- Brunton compass
- CURT computer program
Output Measurements
- vector mean direction
- consistency ratio
- standard deviation
