In this video, I provide a detailed comparison of chronostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic correlations for "cores" in river to lake environments. The key points are that: 1) similar sediment/rock types can form at different times; 2) different sediment/rock types can form at the same time; and 3) lithostratigraphic correlations cross time lines and chronostratigraphic correlations cross facies boundaries.
