Especially when trying to map tectonites (which in itself is an interpretations), the line between observation and interpretation does get quite hazy.... am I looking at a sheared granite at this outcrop, or is it a volcanic? What evidence is in nearby outcrops to support or refute this? In the meantime, how do I denote it on my map? Etc... Etc... The funny thing is that the users of my maps often refer to them as "data", when they are very much interpretation. At NEGSA this past year, I was in a discussion with other mappers where it was said "No two geologists would produce identical maps of a given area. The same geologist may not even produce the same map if they came back later and mapped it again..."<BR/><BR/>-Joe K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563205518828267408.post-53109103068336471622008-04-09T00:37:00.000-07:002008-04-09T00:37:00.000-07:00This post inspired this postThis post inspired <A HREF="http://christieatthecape.blogspot.com/2008/04/on-field-geology.html" REL="nofollow">this post</A>Christie Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131186132737346311noreply@blogger.com
