surfaces de diaclase Explanation: .joint : geology a crack in a rock along which no displacement has occurred http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/joint "Diaclase: n.f. Fentes de tension simple et linéaire sans déplacement des blocs rocheux. Champ de diaclases: l.m.

Re: Stepped surface. à degrés présentant des marches d'escalier ou en marches d'escalier " http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=2174236 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2011-08-04 20:27:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- it is best to define the area of core loss as the interval heading. For example: 99.4. to 101.6: No Recovery. Interpreted to be intensely fractured zone. Drillers reported blocking off, core probably ground up during drilling. 103.4 to 103.7: Open Joint?. Drillers reported 0.3-ft drop of drill rods during drilling and loss of all water. Joint surfaces in core do not match. 0.7 to 11.6: Silty Sand. Poor recovery, only 6.2 ft recovered from interval. Classification based on recovered material and wash samples. 0.9 to 3.2: Rockbitted. No samples recovered. (Usually this would be subheaded under a previous description, inferring the materials are the same as the last recovered). www.usbr.gov/pmts/geology/geolman/chap10.pdf |
