Depositional Systems and Basin AnalysisDepositional Systems and Basin Analysis
The test is a mixture of Scantron, computer graded questions, and the basin analysis. For the Basin Analysis get and follow the instructions in the Lecture Notebook. Answer True/False and Multiple Choice question on the Scantron card. Answer other questions on the attached pages. Be sure to put your social security number on the Scantron card.

a page of outcrop illustrations, including
photographs and drawings. Use them to
answer the following questions about the
drawing to the right.

might be found at location A. If none apply, leave all blank.

You are to identify the depositional system each strip log comes from. N OTE that the strip logs are not to scale; with two exceptions they have simply been reduced to the same height. You have to identify them based on their facies elements and sequences of facies elements. If no choices apply, leave all blank.
