Lithostratigraphic
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002195
Relating to the classification and correlation of rock units based on their lithological characteristics, such as rock type, mineralogy, and texture. This approach groups rock bodies into formal units like formations, members, and groups, which are defined by their observable physical properties. Lithostratigraphic units are independent of time and are used to establish a framework for geological mapping and subsurface interpretation.
