V. Geography and Geomorphology 



Under this heading the following topics should be considered: relief features, 

 relation of relief to stratigraphy and structure, drainage patterns and characteristics, 

 general rock distribution and exposure, vegetational pattern, and culture. 



VI. Geology 



A. Stratigraphy 



1. Sedimentary rocks 



a. General discussion of stratigraphic sequence. Include graphic section or 

 tabulated section. The former is preferred. 



b. Regional and local stratigraphic relationships. 



c. Detailed discussion of each formational unit. (Each formation should be 

 photographed and the photograph properly captioned and integrated into 

 the text.) 



Location of typical exposure or exposures. 



History. 



Thickness (maximum and minimum) . 



Lithology (may involve a detailed graphic section) . 



Stratigraphic relationships. 



Paleontology and age. 



Environment of deposition. 



Correlation. 



2. Igneous rocks 



Discussion should include types, distribution, relationships, and age. 



3. Metamorphic rocks 



This discussion should also include types, distribution, relationships, and age. 



B. Structure 



1. Regional and local trends and relationships. 



2. Relation of structure to physiography. 



3. Folding (intensity, type, age, closure, trend, economics) . 



4. Faulting (intensity, type, age, economics, trend, pattern). 



VII. Economic products 



VIII. Conclusions and recommendations 



Statements relating to conclusions reached and recommendations presented should be 

 clear and concise. In economic work this section may be the only one in which 

 management finds an interest and may, therefore, precede the body of the report. 



IX. Bibliography
