The new surface, ''S'', is the shallower horizon time structure plus a fraction of the isochron between the two bounding horizons. Such a slice is called a '''proportional slice''' because it is proportionally between the two bounding horizons. In certain environments that exhibit significant growth in the interval, the proportional slice can provide a significantly improved image of the depositional stratigraphy compared to horizon slices in the shape of either bounding horizon.
