Volumetric Localization

Roster Date Author Record
Locus 2008-07-20 mO k23 [Input: S914LH.j]
Elevation 2010-08-19 mM1 9116 @top (corrected) [Input: U819MM1.j]
M#/elev @top 2008-07-20 mO m4773 [Input: S914LH.j]
M#/elev @bottom 2008-07-20 mO m4773 [Input: S914LH.j]
Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 mM1 The measured bottom elevation (9118) exceeds the top (9116), which is impossible. f33 covers f34 and has a bottom measurement of 9116. Therefore I conclude that the top elevation of f34 is correct, while the bottom one is in error, but cannot be estimated. [Input: U807MM1.j]
