Database Description:

The PRB_STRAT_DB.mdb database contains five tables listed below:

DATA_SOURCE

The DATA_SOURCE table contains information related to the origin of each record in the database.

PRB_BASIN_AUX

Contains auxiliary information such as, basin scale maps and stratigraphic information related to the cross sections referenced in the PRB_CROSS_SECTION_LIST table.

PRB_CROSS_SECTION_APPENDIX

This table contains cross reference information about each well used to construct the cross sections listed in the PRB_CROSS_SECTION_LIST table.

PRB_CROSS_SECTION_ELEV

This table contains the top and bottom elevations (ft) for the sands and coals found in the PRB_CROSS_SECTION_LIST table.

PRB_CROSS_SECTION_LIST

This table contains a listing of each cross section and the wells that were used to create that cross section.
