This template constructs a vertically arranged timeline. The editor defines 2D rectangles (bars) and optional annotations (notes). The header is customizable. A scale appears on the left, and annotations appear on the right. An optional legend appears at the foot. Has built-in compatibility for geological divisions.
Geothermobarometry is the methodology for estimating the pressure and temperature history of rocks (metamorphic, igneous or sedimentary).Geothermobarometry is a combination of geobarometry, where the pressure attained (and retained) by a mineral assemblage is estimated, and geothermometry where the temperature attained (and retained) by a mineral assemblage is estimated.
The Folk classification, in geology, is a technical descriptive classification of sedimentary rocks devised by Robert L. Folk, an influential sedimentary petrologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas.
