00:06 Okay. Um when I do slides I have to just say share?

00:10 , because it looks like a share the screen right there, just

00:17 the whole screen. Okay, sorry that guys. Yeah, the um

00:25 thing was updated, see if that , you tend to have to do

00:40 in the right sequence. I don't why with Microsoft systems you just do

00:55 whenever that's lighting better. It used be left or right. Yeah.

01:42 . Since the classes so big, to hold your questions to the end

01:46 the lecture. TZ just speak up be this one there it is.

02:40 other problem with this is you have , you have to move things around

02:46 I don't know why Micro used to able, you could click on almost

02:49 spot for Microsoft stuff but now there's certain places you can click drag.

03:00 , I'm gonna try to reduce some so we have be very careful not

03:14 turn something off. Okay. You aren't even looking, are you?

03:39 is all for the record when when you guys see this online,

03:57 you see this box in the Mhm. Are you online right

04:09 You don't have the link you do don't. Okay. I thought I

04:15 Utah was gonna send it to everybody yeah, my account wasn't screwing up

04:26 this computer. I would so sometimes you can get to it from

04:34 work, but I don't know if has it on blackboard deal.

04:38 I just want to black, are on blackboard right now? This is

04:46 of important. So it's okay. that's just because I'll get to this

05:29 is a little bit different. There's instructors, I teach half of one

05:37 my courses and he teaches half about third of one of his courses.

05:44 so this is up on the board now. See if I get this

05:53 of here we go. Okay so to geology 63 79. I teach

06:02 for the professional program. There's a course. So one of the reasons

06:07 that is because we thought getting a geo chronology and that would be good

06:14 . Um A lot of people have lot of faith in radio metric

06:18 The problem is we have There's two profits with bio Strat data. We

06:26 lots of data. It's it's the of thing that I'm working on right

06:29 to to get into artificial intelligence and analytics type of routines because because it's

06:39 has we have they feel not me the field has um more data probably

06:47 almost anything if uh when I worked the research center when I did a

06:54 software called graphic correlation that you're gonna a lot about in this. I

06:58 to crash the mainframe computer at a research And the geophysics always took pride

07:06 their huge databases especially when they started three D. They crashed it maybe

07:12 a month. I was able to about once a week. It really

07:16 didn't upset them that I crashed and that I crashed it more than a

07:21 because uh it made it look like had more data and we did uh

07:26 point I'm trying to get to is that geo chronological data uh is really

07:35 but a lot of it is tied bios, tried to figure out exactly

07:41 where it fits in. And uh that's kind of how their algorithms

07:46 And the other thing is is that have limited number of points. You

07:51 someone doesn't run samples on a certain rock. They won't have anything in

07:57 rocks don't have things but most sedimentary have fossils. And uh and that's

08:03 uh this particular tool is is very . Uh one hand a machine tells

08:11 what how many years it is with algorithms in this case it takes a

08:16 that understands taxonomy and ecology and all of stuff to make these interpretations.

08:25 . It's not gonna free up my . Can you read that read that

08:41 guys fall asleep with my digits? a little bit better. You

08:55 we could there. Okay this is the course outline and it's just there

09:04 you to look at. Um But will talk a lot about the types

09:12 data then. Um And this this gonna be my part of the course

09:18 is the first two weekends. And can we talk about a number of

09:29 of of bio strategic fee, how work with this with relative absolute age

09:36 . You know when we when we rock fossils and rock players, you

09:41 obviously the higher higher you are in section the younger they are unless there's

09:45 kind of structural overturn or something where been reworking but but traditionally it was

09:57 a relative time tool. In other , we know this is older than

10:01 , this is younger than that, it's been tied and integrated with uh

10:08 outcrops and cores around the world to we actually can give an absolute date

10:17 the bio Strada. Graphic events that looking at what we call tops.

10:23 I like to call them bio There's a lot of things about this

10:28 that require different terminology in different words it tends to put people to

10:34 but I'm gonna try to focus on things that are most important and uh

10:39 go through that. We'll have a bit on halitosis, photography and bio

10:45 photography fit together. And how time created a we're talking about the bio

10:58 , be talking about the geo chronology . But when you put calibrate this

11:06 database to a limited data base with few uh places to tie it.

11:13 he come up with a thing Okay then uh then well then I'll

11:20 showing you lots of applicants. Not lot because we don't have a lot

11:24 time. But I'll be showing you of how it's used and uh there

11:30 a few key things about it that get to you in the slides.

11:33 predominantly we use this tool. Geo can give you an age. Uh

11:41 , photography can give you an agent help you correlate whole sections to whole

11:48 . It can help you so give aged a correlation. It can also

11:53 the environment of deposition. And uh , have you had any courses in

12:00 de positional systems or anything like Okay. Uh you've had stuff in

12:07 historical geology or anything like that. . Um so if you if you've

12:14 any course where you look at sedimentary , sedimentary structures sometimes are mimicked from

12:22 deposition environment to another. For Um Some types of beds can occur

12:30 deep water turbine sites and they can occur on the overspill banks of a

12:37 system. Same structure. But with , you can tell whether it's the

12:43 one or the shallow one, just that and it's so it helps you

12:48 a lot of things that we can't . A lot of people be arm

12:54 about this being a submarine fan and being a delta. Some of the

13:00 structures that they're talking about or mimic both environments. But having that particular

13:05 assemblage will tell them whether it's shallow or deep and that's the environmental deposition

13:15 . When I teach this full I go into a lot of examples

13:19 how these are used to help us hurricane deposits, uh cycles and non

13:28 systems, you know, the deposition and non marine systems and deposition cycles

13:33 uh marine systems, which I will a little bit because that's mostly what

13:38 do with this. And anyway, an awful lot of applications.

13:44 So by the day today we're gonna over these first two lectures and uh

13:53 to get you kind of warmed up failure environment because I'll talk about all

13:58 lectures, there's gonna be a reading , it's already online and I think

14:02 you've seen and uh there's an article by feared And I think it's 1993

14:10 somewhere around. And uh It was good summary article uh about 30 years

14:18 . It's uh, it's pretty I haven't seen any it's quite that

14:23 in terms of how the process is . And then there's a lot of

14:28 basic stuff is in it about how done. And then there's gonna be

14:32 list of questions and I'm gonna want to turn that in by friday.

14:38 . And the reason I want you turn in by friday is because this

14:42 is gonna have micro credentials and what that means is every third of

14:48 course you're gonna, I'm gonna have least this course you're gonna have some

14:55 and a test. We'll call it exam but it's like a test.

15:01 uh for my two parts for Pete will just have a test. So

15:07 have two exercises for the first package one exercise, bigger exercise for the

15:15 badge and exam for each one of . The exam for the second badge

15:20 actually gonna be on the Wednesday following second week. Thank you. Okay

15:26 August 22 We'll talk about these topics bio events. And there's a lot

15:34 terms that make up a bio So we'll go through those terms.

15:37 you understand them because you'll hear people them different ways but a lot of

15:47 go into what this is. I to use this term. Usually anybody

15:57 these other terms kind of fall into but there's a reason why they have

16:00 needs. Okay um and then we'll about the complexities of the fossil record

16:09 why this method of graphic correlation is . So I'll give you a simple

16:15 correlation exercise. We're not gonna do correlation in this first part. I

16:20 it's good for you to kinda see of what the whole process is trying

16:25 get you to. It's a real exercise um In real life it's a

16:29 more complicated and you're not gonna get complicated stuff to work on. But

16:33 is a very simplified exercise so that kind of get an idea of how

16:38 works. It's gonna look like linear . But it's not, it's it's

16:44 something that requires interpretation and I'll explain as we go on in next

16:51 But I wanted you to get the to look at this. Uh there's

16:56 be some instructions on this in the tomorrow and there will be because it

17:02 to the fossil record and there's a of little quirks in the fossil record

17:10 sometimes uh, in the past, used to call them error, but

17:13 there's signals if you understand what's going . And so you don't want to

17:19 the baby out with the wash just you don't quite understand it. A

17:23 of uh, a lot of times a fossil is not found where you

17:27 it to be. That's because of serious has happened in the deposition setting

17:33 deposition environment. For example, reworking one thing. So if I'm looking

17:39 a how many of you know, of you know what reworking is okay

17:47 uh, when fossils get laid down in in order, there's a set

17:54 . And so for example, there's down here and there's paley a scene

17:58 here. This is younger. So get cretaceous fossils in a pale Eocene

18:04 . How does that happen? if you, so a lot of

18:16 , um, coastal plain, a lot of uh, so you

18:38 have a vacation caesar. Sometimes up we find secret taste or something.

18:59 that means is that there's not, actually really, it's actually a tectonic

19:07 . It's telling us something is going so, uh, it's really

19:12 And of course we have mountains on . What does that create? I'm

19:18 up in the air. What's gonna ? This relates totally to we have

19:24 rocks a couple of years. So is the upper edge. What happens

19:35 here? It arose. So in rose, this is transportation seeing.

19:52 here, what are most of our ? Uh, the other thing that

20:01 if we're looking at sometimes may have over. I have. That's

20:20 So whenever we see we're working, , that's, and that's what I

20:29 by um, people would, you , somebody significance. This is

20:48 something from way back and they do with technology to its exactly. He

21:02 the age of the rocks. And it's something that has a lot of

21:13 screens in it, what's special about screens relative to other rocks, other

21:19 minerals that we might see, sand , they're very resistant and they're very

21:29 . And that's why they often form good residents because they don't break down

21:34 , if the sandstone is quartz quartz , it's physically and chemically very

21:41 It's a feldspar might turn into that . So in the in the reworked

21:47 , you'll see the clays from the parts, but you won't see uh

21:52 see the sand sized particles of the is down. Okay. It's,

22:02 know, it's a little bit but I'm trying to explain to you

22:05 a lot of relevance in this data that's why I really want to get

22:09 into A I. And data analytics because a lot of people ignore this

22:15 because they can't cope with it. it's it takes a lot to you

22:20 you're gonna see in this course that a lot of terminology that most people

22:26 have the patience or time to Whereas bios photographers do this all the

22:32 . Most people that are in bio fee would be very qualified for a

22:37 type career because they like all you know, like all the names

22:42 you deal with with bacteria and viruses we deal with that all the

22:46 In fact, I like to say doctors only deal with one species,

22:53 deal with an awful lot of but paleontologists might have to deal with

22:58 of them from time, you and in fact, there's so many

23:03 that's a paleontologist can actually do all it. So they kind of focus

23:07 , you know, just the cretaceous just the Jurassic or maybe just the

23:13 , which we've now broken into the jean and. Okay so what I'm

23:20 to get at is this is pretty . And then uh I have five

23:25 that a through e lecture five A E A B C D E

23:29 55 by five. Uh I'm just show you slides and give you some

23:37 on some of the fossils. And not gonna ask you to learn the

23:42 . But what I want you to when you get there is why are

23:48 , why is this fossil group important a geologist working for? Okay or

23:55 for uh aquifers any anything that you in the subsurface geological uh bio strata

24:05 um ability to to define strata, them from one well to another.

24:12 know these are single points. It's hard sometimes to correlate because the rock

24:17 can look repeats itself, it mimics . It's hard to do this when

24:23 I teach petroleum geology which will be semester for you, we'll have a

24:28 exercise. And and what I do uh uh we may or may not

24:35 time. But what I like to is have have the students correlate without

24:40 data and then have correlate with fossil so they can see how it makes

24:44 big difference. You can, another of putting it is you can mess

24:49 up big time by just correlating Okay and then then there'll be a

24:56 bit of a primer on strategic fee I think this will be really useful

25:00 you two guys. Okay. And then september On September two,

25:10 next weekend you're gonna have the first , you're gonna have that exam for

25:16 , for the class and for the and uh that would be badge one

25:21 this micro credential but it's gonna be third of your one third of your

25:25 at that point. It's gonna be test and the exercises I give.

25:31 uh so here you'll have an exam you'll have that simple graphic correlation exercise

25:36 the reading exercise. Okay then we're talk about timescales and the basics of

25:44 correlation. You already have done an to kind of have an idea of

25:47 we're going. Then we're gonna talk the bigger picture of graphic correlation and

25:55 composite scene and how they work This is actually a process. This

26:03 the database that you need to make process. Then I'll show you some

26:09 to it. Then I'll show you it's used to integrate with technology and

26:13 sorts of other types of geological They will do a uh, electron

26:20 this is a little bit, this all about asian and this is when

26:25 finally get to the family of the part in a little bit more

26:30 Okay. You guys don't look so . Okay then on that September the

26:39 , that Wednesday that night will have The second, the second exam for

26:47 2nd 3rd. And uh and of back here, uh you'll have the

26:54 symmetry of the exercise. So this a 15 point exercise. The two

26:59 weekend are going to be a five a 10 percentage and uh and so

27:08 show you the breakdown, but uh you'll get 100 of migrate from from

27:17 two two things and uh and then uh then you'll get another third from

27:24 geo chronology. It will average that to get your funding and I know

27:31 slides so well I'm telling you too ahead of time. So I haven't

27:35 the list yet from dr Copeland but 9 10 in the 16th which is

27:41 friday. So you have a friday saturday and friday, he'll be talking

27:45 this, you get a little bit time with this one just because I'm

27:49 four days. He's gonna get three and but I have two big

27:58 He only has one. Okay and exam is gonna be the normal exam

28:05 which is that Wednesday June the 30 the whole thing. And uh the

28:11 bio strategic fee is the 1st and badges or the 1st and 2nd,

28:15 of the course India chronology will be third badge and the final grade will

28:20 the average of those three and um changed it around just to make each

28:29 100%. This will be the exam be 70, 10 and 20 for

28:34 two. And for the second it's 70% and 30% for that last

28:39 . So each badge will add up um, 100. And then the

28:45 from that will be two, Something than 200 divided by two. And

28:55 , and then um, and then also be average with dr Copeland.

29:01 . Here's the suggested textbook and you may want to read that.

29:08 think I think I haven't put it , but there's a I have a

29:14 have a table that tells you what to relate to each lecture. And

29:26 are other books that if you're interested and you might want to look at

29:29 now through the course of teaching this the professional programs I've had uh several

29:35 do capstone projects on and uh they all really one was the Gulf of

29:41 and one was an area where I it was hill corp they were having

29:47 hard time correlated and sort of, might have been oxen and he helped

29:53 correlate some stuff that they were having for that. And this is uh

30:05 asked me about two books, was on the uh, where did you

30:09 the two books? Is it on schedule? Yes, sir.

30:24 Yes. Okay. Okay. Well one and this one uh, you

30:35 , you don't I think I think can get these online you know the

30:40 don't usually report this to the bookstore they because the half the time they

30:47 even order the books like For two they might be in order one.

30:53 know if there's 30 people they order and plus that you can get it

30:58 cheaper but also online the uh you get you can rent an electronic copy

31:05 almost nothing. It used to be would charge you as much and sometimes

31:12 more for an online but it's it's now. Okay. This obviously you

31:21 have figured out where this is so don't have to talk about that.

31:28 um So this is kind of lecture which is the introduction of bias and

31:37 in the best talk to you about of the schools and products. In

31:43 words. What is it used? . And also uh graphic correlation and

31:54 here. Okay, so this slide makes a good test question. This

32:05 the next slide maybe. But um in academia we like to define what

32:12 do and uh uh before I used have um a lot of I don't

32:22 I have them all now before I to have um actually the authors of

32:31 lot of like DPS definition, I a couple of that probably paleontologist that

32:42 in bios, photography define it. know books books from 1950s,

32:51 70s 80s. You know, on on. But it's it's kind of

32:56 to go through that. But so came up with a real definition

33:00 which was the best of what them put together biased photography is the study

33:05 preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms the market. And uh being traces

33:16 called technology. And uh and they like no fossils, which is

33:23 traces in the sedimentary rock that show activity. Like some something falling across

33:31 bottom, something burrowing into the that sort of thing. Uh A

33:39 of people in Canada for some reason must have some really good outcrops because

33:46 spend a lot of time with technology do a lot with technology. But

33:52 if you're actually looking at the real that are in the rocks that reflect

33:57 deposition all setting at the time, can be even more useful uh,

34:03 a lake system. For example, was able to, from certain

34:06 I was able to tell whether you near the surface or in a deep

34:11 of the surface, they called the and in other words, above and

34:16 the key McCline because above, above certain chemical boundary and sailing lake systems

34:28 it's not necessarily sodium fluoride, but those kinds of lake systems when you

34:33 below that, you get an anoxic . And that creates a good place

34:40 preserve organic material. So the best rocks in the world come from large

34:45 systems where the total organic carbon is 20 many times over 20% TS TS

34:55 organic part. And uh sorry photography includes macro paleontology, hand sized

35:04 samples. But um micro botany and paleontology uh really or what are used

35:16 industry and often in these large databases yeah, this pains academics to hear

35:25 . But most of the geological information ever been collected was collected by an

35:30 company through cuttings in a drill And uh because they've drilled literally hundreds

35:39 hundreds of thousands of wells. And it's such a huge amount of amount

35:45 data becomes very important. And uh can imagine if you drill into a

35:53 , we got a piece of the and some some vertebrate paleontologists are good

36:00 to figure out what that is from a chunk of it. But it's

36:04 and it's not and it's it might only one piece in the whole

36:09 Whereas these little critters you could have to thousands, even a million and

36:15 sample with less volume. And so I say there's a lot of

36:22 there is a London another way of it, there's a lot of evidence

36:29 the things that paleontologists interpret. so um we're gonna be gone through

36:43 and look at the different some of different definitions of things. some of

36:47 bio strata, graphic concepts, the fossil groups, uh bio cronista T

36:54 and how to tie it to bio Cronje strategic fee and then paleo environmental

37:03 . And uh here's some some more the definitions. I did leave some

37:06 them in uh the use of fossils the relative age of sediments. And

37:12 reason I brought that up is because was true probably 19 8. It's

37:25 true. It wasn't true in It wasn't true. Uh The ability

37:35 tie well data to polar reversals to magnetic data, but just paleo magnetic

37:43 to geo chronological data and all that of thing made it possible for,

37:52 do do more than cultivate but also come up with. Absolutely. And

37:58 know what? I thought I had key to this door in my pocket

38:07 there is no water five Grand a . It's that's what they said.

38:22 know, relative you weren't but now can because it's been integrated, it

38:27 integrated all the time. What's Hang on. Um Even when it

38:49 just relative, we had a pretty idea of roughly what the ages of

38:58 things were. And but it wasn't . But now we And now when

39:04 get the graphic correlation I can tell the strata graphic break is to say

39:08 26.7 and 23.8 negative. And that's to know these things might be different

39:18 the section next to you because when see the probation of sediments into the

39:28 a basin as you move into the and you're gonna see different things happening

39:34 different parts of the sediment deposition. up on the shelf for example,

39:41 gonna get stuff moving around in the on the slope, you're gonna get

39:47 . Um Just sean this will come . So I think I probably

40:15 This is really they still support. that's two. And um So here

41:29 house so by the time so you meet section here. She come out

41:50 and have delta. What version of ? So you're getting a big deposition

41:58 that. Plus in terms of something here facing time. Mhm. Get

42:20 here. A lot of stuff just down slow so we can get So

42:30 all relates to and uh significant Just stand there all down here.

42:50 nice part it's basic. That's the m positional as we have these places

43:09 surface fear something get outside. But , but in terms of all of

43:29 things that we're talking about is that have erosion going on up here.

43:37 deposition going on. Yes. That's you preserve time. So your

43:58 Mhm. I had a welcome something this. I have a deposition of

44:05 time. Yes, this is opposition . We're gonna have a deposition drinking

44:23 here. Special. So pulses a and presentation, uh permission non deposition

44:47 . That's that's the rocket. It well. He didn't actually sit on

44:54 . Well, let me tell you correlation with 3000. Uh, just

45:10 a graphical. Okay. And and is all tied to uh, not

45:27 , but absolutely. Another thing is photography is often referred to as applied

45:39 . And and an academic corners of world. It was often treated as

45:47 it wasn't a real science, but always been a very real science.

45:53 , and they talk about correlation and determination. They say that over and

45:57 again. What what is missing What do you think is just since

46:11 been talking, what is absolutely left of that definition? I can't that's

46:29 sure there's no relationship to deposition right? Yeah. And uh and

46:40 important. I gave a talk one our seminars one time and a student

46:47 in chronology is out in the You can tell the environment environmental deposition

46:57 . But you can't do that It's really important. It's really important

47:03 know that you're Yeah, baby gamma signal that looks like a delta or

47:14 . And it looks like uh in of them, one of them actually

47:19 deep water and one of them actually shallow water. You don't want to

47:23 and there's an outcrop on the southern of England. I went on a

47:27 trip there, a guy from the of Reading just on the coast,

47:31 south coast of England and he he's sediment ologists that he pointed us to

47:37 outcrop. He said you know this to be considered alluvial. Then later

47:43 when we had people start looking at , they decided it was a

47:48 Then when people started looking um I'm they thought it was not bars.

47:54 then when somebody figured out what a site was, they realized that actually

47:58 was a turbine, right? So of these great geologists through time didn't

48:03 enough information and they didn't have a . Um you didn't have a lot

48:10 once they figured out what type they . They have that they have Helen

48:17 which is a very resistant thing because the weather and the outcome. But

48:23 they're able to figure out this and it's like and another thing uh by

48:30 way really spend and energy and fire . Yeah now now there's these

48:56 Exactly. Okay. And these are of the other things like like I

49:35 you I'm just putting them in here you can see that people have been

49:40 up with things I worked with joe U. S. Geological survey is

49:49 brilliant, this is a really this a good um definition came out of

49:56 paper many years ago but it was pretty good paper and so I included

50:01 in there. And when they talk the interpretation of history that really is

50:11 about deposition. What happened that That's . And here's another one by Emery

50:20 Myers and this is a B. . Book and this is um a

50:28 from Tiger, one of the earliest Right Here 1st. Uh We have

50:35 had people doing this sort of work the um Probably the 17th century but

50:44 gone from you know people going out collecting and in the just cataloging what's

50:50 on to people actually figuring out what needs. Okay, so uh a

50:59 of people wonder what the difference between strategic fee and paleontology are. And

51:03 not really a huge difference except um strategic Afi really is focused on solving

51:13 in geologic history and paleontology is focused taxonomy and evolution. And since evolution

51:22 through the rock record, it's kind the same thing. But the focus

51:26 more on, you know, what is there? When was it

51:32 What are the relationships between the different ? That's paleontology and in bios to

51:38 feed. We're trying to we're trying get a tool that's such that we

51:43 actually figure out what the earth's history through time, which includes the whole

51:48 deposition all framework which is why I that up because that's kind of how

51:57 has happened in the past as old I am when I started how
