------------------------------------------------- The world of Geology has been brought to a new age of observation‚ interpretation and reasoning with the arrival of Sequence Stratigraphy. What is Sequence Stratigraphy? What is its purpose? How does it serve Geology? Sequence stratigraphy is uniquely focused on analyzing changes in facies and geometric character of strata and identification of key surfaces to determine the

Hutton‚ considered to be “the father of geology”‚ wrote his uniformitarian explanations for the formation of sedimentary rock and a comprehension of geological time (also known as Deep time) in the late 18th century. Lyell‚ a geologist‚ worked using Hutton’s ideas as a foundation and had findings
