Seismic fades maps show the areal distribution of seismic fades and are useful when making lithofacies interpretations. The most common and useful parameters to be mapped are seismic reflection patterns and isochrons (thickness measured in seconds of two-way time).

Seismic facies maps show the areal distribution of seismic facies and are useful when making lithofacies interpretations. The most common and useful parameters to be mapped are seismic reflection patterns and isochrons (thickness measured in seconds of two-way time).
