Today Stratigraphic section is celebrated, a date/reason that invites us to reflect on the importance of Stratigraphic section in our lives. Stratigraphic section is a topic that has gained relevance in recent years, generating great interest in society. In this article we are going to explore Stratigraphic section in depth, analyzing its impact on different aspects of our daily lives. From its origin to its evolution over time, through its influence on current culture and society, Stratigraphic section is a topic that continues to arouse the curiosity and interest of many people. Join us on this tour of Stratigraphic section and discover everything there is still to know about this fascinating topic.
Sequence of layers of rocks in the order they were deposited
Biostratigraphers estimate the age of stratigraphic sections by using the faunal assemblages contained within rock samples from outcrop and drill cores. Geochronologists precisely date rocks within the stratigraphic section to provide better absolute bounds on the timing and rates of deposition. Magnetic stratigraphers look for signs of magnetic reversals in igneous rock units within the drill cores. Other scientists perform stable-isotope studies on the rocks to gain information about past climate. Stratigraphic sections can also be used to locate areas for water, coal, and hydrocarbon extraction, particularly petroleum and natural gas.
A Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) is an internationally agreed upon reference point on a stratigraphic section which defines the lower boundaries of stages on the geologic time scale. (Recently this has been used to define the base of a system)
