Claim One:
1. A method for editing models of a geological structure, the method comprising: computing by a processor a transformation between a current model having geographic coordinates representing current locations of an observed geological structure and a depositional model having paleo-geographic coordinates representing a predicted state of the geological structure at a time period when the geological structure was originally formed; receiving by the processor an identification of a gap or an overlap in one of a plurality of planar horizons in the depositional model; receiving by the processor identified points on the planar horizon of the depositional model having the identified gap or overlap, wherein the identified points are identified to be erroneously transformed from the corresponding points of the current model; re-computing by the processor the transformation between the current model and the depositional model so that points of the current model, which were identified to be erroneously transformed to the identified points, are transformed to a planar horizon of the depositional model having no gaps and no overlaps; and displaying the current model.
