Sequence Stratigraphy Movies (Quicktime™ & Real™ )

NB. The best way to view the Quicktime movies is to control their motion using the the arrow keys on your keyboard.

• The left arrow will step the film back
• The right arrow will run it forward. Don't neglect this good advice but go for it!!!
  
  

  Basic "Vail Sequence" Clastic Fill of a Sedimentary Basin	}	A "Quicktime" movie based on a Sedpak simulation of evolving clastic sedimentary geometries and cross section of a basin as it responds to changing base level. Note position of the system tracts and the surfaces that define them. To understand this simulation in more detail click to visit the "Introduction to Sequence Stratigraphy - The Basics" and its associated pages.
  Two-sided Clastic Fill of a Sedimentary Basin	}	A "Quicktime" movie based on a Sedpak simulation of evolving sedimentary geometries and cross section responding to changing base level. An interpretive 3D perspective has been added by hand. To better understand this simulation in more detail click to visit Two-Sided Clastic Fill of a Sedimentary Basin.
  Techniques for interpreting well logs of Coastal Plain and Incised Valley Fill	}	This Quicktime animated movie illustrates how to tie well logs to build and interpret coastal clastic sedimentation with valley incision. Click here to visit the exercises that the movie illustrates
  Clastic Sequence with Incised Valley (click here for a smaller-version).	}	This Quicktime animation movie traces the development of a clastic sequence with valley incision and its tie to an associated well log interpretation and the systems tracts that form this sedimentary section.

  Clastic Systems Tract Evolution.	}	A "Quicktime" movie based on the cross section used in the chronostratigraphic exercise illustrated below. An interpretive 3D perspective has been added and for a more detailed interpretation of this Quicktime movie visit clastic sedimentary response to changing sea level.
  Close up on Carbonate Well Log Interpretation.	}	A "Quicktime" movie based on a close up on the well log cross section, limited to four of the wells used in the well log interpretation exercises described on the page related to carbonate sequence stratigraphic interpretation from well logs.This shows you how to identify grain size changes on the well logs and in the cores and break out the cycles in the section.
  Carbonate Well Log Interpretation.	}	A "Quicktime" movie based on the complete well log cross section used in the well log interpretation exercises described on the page related to carbonate sequence stratigraphic interpretation from well logs.
  Reef-Rimmed Platform, Up Miocene, Mallorca.	}	Two "Quicktime" movies based on the stratigraphic cross sections interpreted by Luis Pomar and illustrated by Christopher Kendall of the evolution of the Upper Miocene carbonate platform, Mallorca, Spain in response to changing base level. One of these, the first is annotated to guide you through the movie The other has no annotation so you can view it without distraction.

  Baum's Chronostratigraphic Exercise, as a QuickTime Movie.	}	A "Quicktime" movie of the chronostratigraphic chart created in an exercise based on the original created by Jerry Baum. Click here to view the details of this exercise.
