GULF OF MEXICO CUBE

David Lumley from Chevron gave James Rickett some nice 3-D data from the Gulf of Mexico. There movie shows time slices at intervals of about 6ms. These slices are about 18 feet apart. That is about 30,000 years of deposition in the Gulf of Mexico. Altogether it is about a million years (about the age of the human species). Figure 2 shows some nice time slices.
