Dip-oriented section through the three-dimensional seam model
The dip-oriented section is the clearest view of down-dip seam separation and the cumulative geometry of the coal-bearing stack. Source-reported dips range from about 18° to 33° among the seams, so exact parallelism should not be assumed.

SOURCE-LED TECHNICAL READING
Geological interpretation and evidential boundary
The dip-oriented section is the clearest view of down-dip seam separation and the cumulative geometry of the coal-bearing stack. Source-reported dips range from about 18° to 33° among the seams, so exact parallelism should not be assumed. Differences may be geological, but they may also arise from sparse control and independent surface fitting. Comparing the section against measured outcrop attitudes, collar-to-intersection vectors and alternative interpolation settings is the appropriate way to decide whether the divergence is real.
