Colors on Geologic Time Scale or on Geologic Maps form a problem to all geologists around the world, there are many standards in color. I'll not speak about the history of colors or the culture behind the difference in colors, Geologic maps rely on color to symbolize the different ages of rocks. same area can be mapped in different colors, and you can use one or two reference to geologic time scale. USGS have standards and BGS have another standards, it's not the problem of 'Colors' and 'Colours' . When biologists made one DNA standards, they work on the Human Genome Project to mapping the Human genome , the complete code of the human genome is one of the best science achievements. All Geologists need one standard for the geological time scale, or for Geologic Maps whatever it's source (origin) or it's culture. one standard is important for many scientific reasons.
I think this column can be a useful forum for discussion, if there is a clear purpose. Simply showing photos is interesting, but is it educational/useful? Also, be sure not to use abbreviations your end-users might not be familiar with. For Example, what country is "KSA"? Also, a littlebackground on the geology of the are where samples are taken would be useful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for feedback! Well, I think the purpose is clear it is sharing knowledge. In your opinion How can showing sample photos be educational/useful?. I'm using abbreviations just for attracting readers not to sophisticate the information they're reading (KSA is a Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). I will mention little background about geology of the area, if it available.
