Descriptions - A detailed description of the texture, framework grains, pore system, and authigenic minerals identified in a thin section. Useful to describe mudrock, siltstone, and some limestones (mudstone, wackestone, boundstone).
Point Count - Used in addition to a thin section description - provides compositional data based on framework grains, cements, and matrix.. Used to describe sandstone and some limestone (grainstone).
Touchstone petrography - Petrography used in Touchstone based Reservoir Characterization Models. Includes minimum 300-count point count, 100 framework grain measurements, and estimation of grain coating on a minimum of 50 framework grains.
