Biostratigraphic correlation between sections separated by a fault zone or other major geologic feature is frequently much more reliable than seismic reflectors or well log picks. Correlation across growth faults, where stratal thickness and character can vary greatly from the high to the low side, is a notable example. | Biostratigraphic correlation between sections separated by a fault zone or other major geologic feature is frequently much more reliable than seismic reflectors or well log picks.
