Drawing a stratigraphic column - example 2 (sed strat)

Stratigraphers record data about sedimentary rocks graphically in stratigraphic columns (and other ways, too). These representations usually use grain size as the "x-axis" and thickness as the "y-axis". In this video I map a photo of some turbidites into a stratigraphic column, specifically showing the interbedding of sandstones and mudstones. It includes how to represent beds that are too thin to draw.
