Manual for Geologic Mapping Utilizing Capture Codes - www.researchgate.net/publicat...
Inconsistent rock coding between geologists and the lost art of geologic mapping are both symptoms of the generally acknowledged, but seldom discussed decline in the geologist’s basic field skills.
At any scale, mapping begins with the identification of the appropriate map units and the characterization of each required to distinguish them. This is not always an easy task, but an essential one. If large portions of the map are composed of “undifferentiated” map units, the ability to interpret the structural model is greatly compromised.
Deciding what rock mapping unit it is, takes a series of steps, starting with detailed geologic observations. The tools presented in this talk offer a solution Dean Williams has used for over twenty years in various geologic terrains with great success. This talk takes a deep dive into the nuts and bolts and step by step actions required to create a proper, coherent geologic map.
Structural knowledge is vital for developing an ore control model necessary to run an efficient and effective exploration
program.
