Graphic Logs of
Sedimentary Rocks




   I.G.Kenyon
Graphic Logs are a method used to record
        details of sedimentary successions to scale

The vertical scale is used to record bed thickness
  to scale, typically the scale will be between 1:10
             (1 cm to 10cm) and 1:100 (1 cm to 1 metre)

  The horizontal scale uses particle sizes of the Wentworth
Scale, on the left hand side is Clay, then moving to the right
is Silt, Sand, Granules, Pebbles, Cobbles and finally Boulders

A variety of symbols are used to indicate the presence
  of sedimentary structures including graded bedding,
 cross bedding, laminations, desiccation cracks,
         ripple marks, flute casts and erosion surfaces
Symbols Used on Graphic Logs
Typical Glacial Sequence
Typical Fluvial (Meandering River Channel) Sequence
Desert Sequence
Deltaic Sequence – Coal Measures Cyclothem
Turbidity Current Sequence
(Bouma Sequence-5 Units)
