No. 1SO 710/lII-1974 (E) Price based on 7 pages Not for Resa FOREWORD ISO (the Internationai Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards institutes (IsO Member Bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through Iso Technical Committees. Every Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmentai, in liaison with IsO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IsO Councit. Prior to 1972, the results of the work of the Technical Committees were published as Iso Recommendations; these documents' are now in the process of being Committee ISO/TC 82 has reviewed ISO Recommendation R 710/11 and found it suitable for transformation. International Standard ISO 710/ll therefore replaces 1SO Recommendation R 710/11-1968. ISO Recommendation R 710/ll was approved by the Member Bodies of the following countries : Greece Poland Belgium Hungary Portugal Brazil Chile India South Africa, Rep. of Czechoslovakia Italy Spain Egypt, Arab Rep. of Sweden Japan France Turkey Korea, Rep. of Germany Netherlands U.S.S.R. The Member Bodies of the following countries expressed disapproval of the Recommendation on technical grounds : New Zealand* Yugoslavia The Member Body of the following country disapproved the transformation of ISO/R 710/l into an internationat Standard : Poland geological cross-sections include : Part I : General rules of representation. Part Il : Representation of magmatic rocks. Part IV : Representation of metamorphic rocks. (In preparation.) Part V : Representation of minerals. (in preparation.) * subsequently. this Member Body approved the Recommendation. @ International Organization for Standardization, 1974 : Copyright International Organization for Standardization censefrom IHS Not for Resale ISO 710/1I-1974 (E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Graphical symbols for use on detailed maps, plans and geological cross-sections -- Part Il : Representation of sedimentary rocks 1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION characterized by their petrographic peculiarities, for example, by a binder such as argillaceous sandstone, This International Standard provides a unified series of box 5/8, or by additionai constituents such as gritty sand, symbols and ornaments for the representation of box 2/3. The boxes at the intersection of a basic type sedimentary rocks on detailed maps, plans and geological (horizontal line) and of the same character (vertical cross-sections. column) are left white and are emphasized by a diagonal. The symbols and ornaments may be divided in two groups, as follows : 2.2 Individual symbols 1) principal types; As far as possible, the selected ornaments express in a 2) varia. diagrammatic way the nature of the rocks. This is relatively easy to accomplish inthecase of clastic sedimentary rocks. They are reproduced in two tables which, being derived from a logical system, may be completed easily in case of need. 2.2.1 Detritus This is represented by sharp-cornered particles; rounded gravel is represented by round particles. The smaller grain 2 PRINCIPAL TYPES of sand is marked on the drawing by a dot. A more detailed subdivision acc
