061 Exercise 2 which uses the Cap Blanc and &Torre sections showing a 6th order cyclic response to sea level change by the late Miocene Llucmajor reef complex, Mallorca, Spain.
(A) Cross section through closely spaced measured sections at Cap Blanc and Sa Torre (CB and ST respectively on map of Mallorca Field Visits, Figure 12 of Mallorca_Gallery 1)
sb = sequence boundary, dls = downlap surface, ci = condensed interval.
(B) Plausible correlation of lithologic units.
(C) Definition of chronostratigraphic units based on tracing surfaces on outcrop.
The interpretation shown in (B) would lead to an incorrect model of fluid flow because of erroneous connection of non-contiguous porous and permeable reef-rock units (Pomar and Ward , 1999).
