Stratigraphy• Stratigraphy is the study of these layered rocks,
especially their sequence, correlation from place to place, relative ages and interpretation. Several important stratigraphic principles emerged from the study of stratigraphy centuries ago by the early founders of the science of geology:
• Lithostratigraphy –– Study of the physical relationship among rock
units; • No time connotation other than superposition
• Physical properties and stratigraphic position relative to other lithostratigraphic units
• Chronostratigraphy –• Integrated approach to establishing the time
relationships among geologic units
Stratigraphy
Chronostratigraphy:
• Biostratigraphy– Study of the fossil record with emphasis on faunal succession
to establish relative time relationships
– The correlation web
• Magnetostratigraphy– Study of the magnetic properties of rock units for the
purpose of correlation using magnetic polarity reversals
• Geochronology– Various techniques, especially isotope geochemistry, to
establish the absolute age of rock units
• Basic principles of stratigraphyRelative dating means that rocks are placed in their proper sequence of formation. A formation is a basic unit of rocks. Below are some basic principles for establishing relative age between formations.
✓Principle of original horizontality
✓Principle of superposition
✓Principle of faunal succession
✓Principle of cross-cutting relationships
• Principle of original horizontality:
Original horizontality
Layers of sediment are generally deposited in a horizontal position.
Lateral Continuity
Sediment layers extend laterally in all direction unit they thin & pinch out as they meet the edge of the depositional basin
Facies Diagram• distribution of lithofacies (rock-types)
- these are associated with their respective EOD
• biofacies are similar but refer to fossils rather thanrock types
• Principle of superposition:
In an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks, each bed is older than the one above and younger than the one below.
The rule also applies to other surface-deposited materials such as lava flows and volcanic ashes.
• Applying the law of superposition to the layers at the upper portion of the Grand Canyon, the Supai Group is the oldest and the Kaibab Limestone is the youngest. (photo by Tarbuck).
• Principle of cross-cutting relationships:
When a fault cuts through rocks, or when magma intrudes and crystallizes, we can assume that the
fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks affected.
principles of cross-cutting relationships
principles of inclusions
Cross-cutting Relationships
That which cuts through is younger than the Object that is cut
dike cuts through
granite is cut
Principle of Inclusions• Inclusions (one rock type contained in another rock type) areolder than the rock they are embedded in. That is, the younger rock contains the inclusions
• Unconformities: Markers of missing time
When layers of rock formed without interruption, we call them conformable.
An unconformity represents a long period during which deposition ceased and erosion removed previously formed rocks before deposition resumed.
✓ Angular unconformities
✓ Disconformity
✓ Nonconformity
DisconformitiesA surface of erosion or non-deposition betweenParallel sedimentary rock beds of differing ages.
Angular UnconformitiesAngular Unconformities• An angular unconformity is an erosional surface on tiltedor folded strata, over which younger strata have been deposited.
NonconformitiesA nonconformity is an erosional surface on igneous ormetamorphic rocks which are overlain by sedimentary rocks.
• Principle of faunal succession:
Groups of fossil animals and plants occur the geologic history in a definite and determinable order and a period of geologic time can be recognized by its characteristic fossils.
The principle of fossil succession. Note that each species has only a limited range in a succession of strata. (W.W. Norton)
Faunal/Floral Succession•• Fossil assemblages (groupings of fossils)
succeed one another through time.
• Correlation of rock unitsThe method of relating rock units from one locality to another is called correlation.
✓ One way of correlation is to recognize the rock type or rock sequence at two locations.
✓ Another way of correlation is to use fossils. A basic understanding of fossils is that fossil organisms succeeded one another in a definite and determinable order, and therefore a time period can be recognized by its fossil content.
The principle of correlation of rock units. The rock columns can be correlated by matching rock types. (W.W. Norton)
The geologic column was constructed by determining the relative ages of rock units from around the world. (Next) By correlation, these columns were stacked one on top of the other to give relative ages of rock units (W.W. Norton)

•Mudstones interbedded with sandy siltstones and lenses of sandstones.
Mudstones are light greenish grey and light grey, smooth, concoildal
fracture, poorly laminated, thick-bedded. Well preserved Posidonomya
sp., ammonites, bivalves, crinoid stems and lignite jet are usually found.
Sandy siltstones are fossiliferous, dirty, light yellow to light orange yellow,
micaceous, thin- to medium-bedded and flaser beds. Posidonomya sp.,
ammonite and plant remains are very abundant. Sandstones are white,
loose, lenticular bed, medium-bedded (20-30 cm). Cross lamination,
flaser lamination, mud cracks, ripple structures and iron hard pans are
also associated.

Khlong Khut reference section
b). Exposure
The reference section has continuous exposure (450 m) currently
mined north of the road. Good exposures of fresh rocks and
continuous sequence without break and aboundant fossiliferous
beds are superb for studying characteristics of the rock units
a. Location This reference section of the Khuan Klang Formation is located at
a large quarry currently mined in the Khlong Khut area, Khlong
Khut Urban, Muang District, Satun Province. The reference section
can be accessed by road no 406 and no 5076 (Muang-Ban Khlong
Khut). Grid reference of the section is 616287E 0735631N in Changwat Satun (5022 III) sheet at scale1:50,000
•General GeologyRocks units in this reference section
have generally NE-SW trending with
northwestward dipping. Generally, azimuth
of beds varies from 40/315 to 55/325.
Characteristics of strata are very smooth,
continuous sequence with slighly
movement of beds by conjugated faults,
especially in the northern part of the main
quarry.
Faulting and jointing occurred in the
area is characterized by the two oblique
strike-slip faults trending NE-SW and NW-
SE directions. Cleavages are well
developed particularlly in argillite strata. The
direction is parallel to the strata.
Two formations of rock units recognized
in this reference section are described in
detail, in ascending order, as follows:

ตวอยางท 3 : PHU NOI, BAN DIN CHI, KHAMMUANG, KALASIN
Location: The dinosaur bones have recently been discovered at a small hill called Phu Noi, Kham Muang District, Kalasin
Province (grid reference 48 3 640 67N and 18 725 92E). The hill is located 80 km NE of Kalasin town (highway No.
227). The highest peak, trending N-S, is 245 m above MSL.
Description The fossil from Phu Noi is
composed of teeth, cranial remains and
postcranial skeletons of dinosaurs and
crocodiles, turtle plates and bones, fish and
sharks. The diversity of this fossil locality is
remarkable because discovered fossils reveal
at least 4 taxa of dinosaurs, probably a new
species of crocodile, a new species of turtle (in
the course of studies) and the latest discovery
of new species carnivorous fish,
Isanichthyslertboosi.
Stratigraphy:
Detailed stratigraphy of this area has been
carried out. The succession consists of siltstone,
mudstone, sandstone and maroon conglomerate.
Calcrete nodules, caliches and nodular silcretes
in the top of mudstone bed are occasionally
found. The structure of this area is anticline and
its axis trends to NW-SE
The sequence of this site can be subdivided
into 3 units, from bottom top as follows;
Stratigraphic column of the Phu Noi area
-The lower part is composed of maroon siltstone, the
thickness of this unit is about 5 m. It is overlain by red
sandstone which shows thin to medium bed, thin- to medium-
grained and rich in feldspar minerals. The dip direction is
15°/132°
-The middle part consists of red siltstone, the thickness of this
unit is about 5 m. It underlies thick to very thick bedded,
fine-grained, white sandstone showing parallel lamination.
The dip direction is 25°/250 °
The upper part consists of maroon conglomerate with
Lepidotes scale. It is overlain by red siltstone and pebbly
sandstone with bivalve. The upper most part comprises
siltstone and cross-bedded sandstone. It is overlain by red
siltstone with dinosaur bone beds. The dip direction is
5°/157 °Stratigraphically, the rock at Phu Noi Site is belonging to the
Phu Kradung Formation of the Khorat Group indicative of
Middle to Late Jurassic.
