is a diagram representing the geologic features intersecting a vertical bedding plane.
Example: "their properties differ from other luminescent layers in the Bazhenov cross-sections, including oil saturated intervals and luminescent tuffs."

photic zone
noun
is the uppermost layer of a body of water that receives sunlight, allowing phytoplankton to perform photosynthesis. It undergoes a series of physical, chemical, and biological processes that supply nutrients into the upper water column.
Example: "Excepting for shallow sediments, where in situ photosynthesis is important, the input of organic carbon from the photic zone of the water column drives the element cycling of sediments."

pristine
adjective
in its original condition and unspoilt.
Example: "Single-solute sorption isotherms were measured for five pristine marine sediments using phenanthrene, naphthalene, 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene as the sorbates."

saturation
is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance and additional amounts of that substance will appear as a precipitate.
noun
Example: "Moreover, the permeability model based on NMR bin porosity isbuilt, and water, gas and oil saturation models are also established through building some correlationsbetween gas saturation and NMR bin porosity."

seepage
noun
the slow escape of a liquid or gas through porous material or small holes.
Example: "The oil seepage shows a moderately good correlation with the rock extracts based on GC-MS biomarker data."

tarball
noun
a lump of solidified crude oil found in or on the sea, or washed up on shore.
Example: "This paper reports on tarballs recovered from approximately 14 km of shoreline during monthly sampling over a two-year period.."
