The description of rocks is a mix of art and science that commonly produces subjective results. Such subjectivity often leads to oral and written communication problems when attempting to describe or to interpret descriptions of the coal-bearing sequences within the Illinois Basin. Too often the collection, transfer, and storage of descriptive reliable rock core data suffers as a result.
To help overcome this problem, the Indiana Geological Survey has developed a standardized method of Pennsylvanian rock core description for the Illinois Basin which is designed for multiple users— geologists, engineers, drillers, miners, teachers, archivists, and regulators.
