- Formal or Informal unit - If formal, no action needs to be taken. An informal unit requires the use of a different entry form.
- Unit name
- Primary source
- Contributing author(s)
- Name
- a. Original description As discussed by original author, using direct quotations, where appropriate.
- b. Derivation e.g. a discussion of the Davis Mine, for which the coal was named
- c. Other names e.g. Western Kentucky No. 6 coal bed
- d. History/background
- Type section
- a. Location
- b. Authors
- c. Status What is present condition of outcrop? If type section is in subsurface, where are samples and logs archived?
- Reference section(s) If more than one, number consecutively under each sub-heading.
- a. Location
- b. Authors
- c. Status
- Stratigraphic relationships
- Here is the place to cover evolving concepts and definition of the unit, as well as where the unit lies relative to other named units, as currently defined.
- Extent and thickness
- Thickness and regional extent are so closely married that discussing them together is more concise, avoiding redundancy.
- Lithology
- Core(s)
- Photographs(s)
- Contacts
- Upper, lower & lateral contacts will be entered individually, but will be presented together.
- Well log characteristics
- Fossils
- Highlighting those of biostratigraphic utility
- Wiki code tip: insert two apostrophes('') before and after a word to italicize the word. Do not use the quotation mark!
- e.g. ''Dalmanites'' will give Dalmanites on the page
- Age and correlation
- This section incorporates biostratigraphy and other correlation techniques. Discussing age and correlation together avoids redundancy.
- Environments of deposition
- Economic Importance
- Remarks
- A location to put any other data that does not fit into one of the above categories.
- References
- Wiki code tip: insert <br> at the end of each entry so a hard return is added to the wiki code
- ISGS Codes
