Taped and clipped into and onto the clipboard are stratigraphic sections,
field area maps, %-composition charts and tables of standard geologic
symbols for lithology as well as maps and cross-sections. Note the
plastic sheet covers (available at any office supply store) to keep things
fairly weather resistant. The clipboard is aluminum rather than plastic,
so it's strong and can serve as a place on which to rest your knee or butt
when
knee pads or a soft seat aren't available and all you've got is
the rocky ground.
Within the clipboard's storage area are spare rulers, protractors and
pens. You can't have too many of these in the field. |
