− | Geological fieldwork can integrate data because it crosses discipline boundaries. A set of shale samples, for example, when analyzed for age, organic richness, and acoustic velocity can advance the understanding of basin history, the source rock facies, and the [[seismic interpretation]]. Each data set furthers the work of paleontologists, geochemists, and geophysicists working the basin. | + | Geological fieldwork can integrate data because it crosses discipline boundaries.

| Geological fieldwork can also provide a tighter tie between the rocks themselves and the technologies (logs, seismic surveys, etc.) used to evaluate the rocks indirectly. | | Geological fieldwork can also provide a tighter tie between the rocks themselves and the technologies (logs, seismic surveys, etc.) used to evaluate the rocks indirectly. |
