Geochemistry and Geologic Mapping

A new technique for structural analysis is described. From dip-strike data, a dip—strike distribution map, structure contour map, and block diagram are automatically prepared on an X-Y plotter by using four computer programs. Three test examples of theoretical data are treated as well as an actual example. The Izumi Group (Upper Cretaceous) is revealed to have a more complicated structure than previously recognized.
