Abstract
Calculating Thickness from Outcrop and Drill-Hole Data
ABSTRACT
The thickness of a uniformly oriented or concentrically folded tabular stratigraphic unit may be calculated from the relative positions of two outcrops, one on its lower and the other on its upper surface, and the bedding orientations at these outcrops. Such calculations, in which drill-hole intersections may replace outcrops, may be carried out rapidly on a programmable pocket calculator or used to program a computer. The consistency of most repeated thickness calculations for units in the coal-bearing Luscar Formation near Mountain Park in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of west-central Alberta attests to the viability of the uniform orientation and concentric fold models.
