  2. Types of stratigraphy:

  3. Types of stratigraphy: biostratigraphy lithostratigraphy chronostratigraphy sequence stratigraphy seismic stratigraphy magnetostratigraphy event stratigraphy cyclostratigraphy chemostratigraphy high-resolution stratigraphy basin analysis

  4. Types of Lithologic contacts

  5. Lithostratigraphic units: Supergroup Group Formation Member bed

  6. Sequence stratigraphy units

  7. Basin accommodation and sequence stratigraphy

  8. Magneto stratigraphy

  9. Magnetostratigraphy is calibrated using biostratigraphy
