Geologic Nomenclature and Description - USGS

Chronostratigraphic Units (arts. 66—79 of the Code) Chronostratigraphic units of a standard geologic time scale designate the position of a material unit relative to the sequence of rocks or sediments of a standard section (global boundary stratotype section and points, GSSPs)1. Examples of chronostratigraphic terms (in

4.4 Electrical conductivity of minerals and rocks

Dense, igneous, metamorphic < 0.05 1.4 1.6 High porosity volcanic 0.2 – 0.8 3.5 1.4 Archie’s Law readily explains the wide range of observed rock resistivities (Figure 4.4.2). Reasonable ranges for porosity and pore fluid resistivity yield a range of bulk rock resistivities of almost five orders of magnitude.
