Logging the chalk
Chalk has proved to be one of the more difficult rocks to core-log as it breaks up readily during the drilling process leading to core-loss and destructuring, particularly where flints, nodular chalks and/or fractures are present. This book is based on the standard lithostratigraphy and method of engineering description of Chalk developed over many years. This book will enable geologists to work from first principles to construct a lithostratigraphy and define weathering boundaries.
