4. Depositional environment I

The log below is from an outcrop of Triassic deposits in Germany. Suggest a depositional

environment based on the log description. Explain your suggestion.

Circles with arrows indicate measured current directions. In the grain-size legend, f= very fine to

fine, m = medium, g = coarse to very coarse (barely readable).

4a. Describe the 3-dimentional morphological shape that you would assume the reservoir to have. Explain why you suggest that shape.

4b. In which compass direction(s) from the test drill would you continue looking for the reservoir unit? Why?

4c. What rock type(s) would you expect to limit the reservoir laterally (the answer "limestone" is too unspecific)? Why?
