necessary to review and interpret this data because field data is crude and non-sequential by nature—unfortunately not all stratigraphic sections display themselves in an obvious manner.
The data was collected with the end goal of understanding the regional lithology and stratigraphic sequence. It was done by traversing seven near-parallel transects running in an
approximately N-S orientation. These transects were chosen based on likelihood to find rock outcrops, so 5 rivers and two roads were chosen each between 1.5-3.5km. Individuals were given a GPS, assigned a partner and a teaching assistant was present to assist with the tasks of finding outcrops, identifying lithology, measuring orientation (if sedimentary) and identifying location on an air-photo. The only non-personal limitation to data collection was poor GPS reception on canopied transects (most transects). Weather was ideal most days.
