Core #3880 and # 388 Assignment February 18 2009 Final core description should be typed with two columns: Core depth, and Description (as indicated below). 1. Describe both cores using the standard protocols: ● rock type ● color ● texture ● fossils/trace fossils ● sedimentary structures ● porosity (estimate it) ● oil shows 2. Identify the principal depositional environment (s) of the cored interval in both cores. Do this by identifying the principal facies i.e. - the distinctive rock types that broadly correspond to a certain environment or mode or origin (channel facies, marine bar facies, tidal facies, open marine facies, turbidite facies, etc). • Interpret the most likely areal distribution pattern of each reservoir facies in both cores. Use terms like areally extensive, blanket-like, narrow, elongate, lobate, etc.
