Abstract Drawing a graphic log is a standard method to describe sedimentary rocks at outcrops or from borehole cores. Graphic logs give a visual impression of the rocks, their lithology, particle size, bedding contacts, sedimentary structures, palaeocurrents and fossil content as well as trends such as coarsening or fining upwards. The format of graphic logs and their styles vary. This paper includes outcrop photographs that were collected as part of a distance learning module in Sedimentology and provides an opportunity for students to practice drawing a graphic log without having to venture into the field, effectively bringing the field into the classroom. Instructions for drawing a graphic log are included. There is potential for virtual logs to provide a more open science approach to outcrop interpretation, enabling researchers to visit outcrops virtually and make their own descriptions and interpretations.

碎屑沉积物的虚拟图形日志

摘要 绘制图形测井是描述露头或钻孔岩心沉积岩的标准方法。图形测井给出了岩石、它们的岩性、粒度、层理接触、沉积结构、古洋流和化石含量以及向上粗化或细化等趋势的视觉印象。图形日志的格式和样式各不相同。本文包括作为沉积学远程学习模块的一部分收集的露头照片，并为学生提供了一个机会，无需冒险进入现场即可练习绘制图形日志，有效地将现场带入课堂。包括绘制图形日志的说明。虚拟测井有可能为露头解释提供更开放的科学方法，
