Back to top: Strata sequence for Unit J6
Introduction
The strata sequence currently used is J6A, it is a sequence based on the J6 data and is unique to J6. It is provisional in nature until the sequence is incorporated into a larger JP sequence. The full JP sequence is given in the MZ sitewide digital book.
