Interpretation of Ash Analysis
Ash is an important indicator of clastic input, likely derived from marine or fluvial deposition of clay, silt, and sand during peat development. When comparing ash contents of subsurface samples with outcrop samples, ash content on average appears to be lower for outcrop samples. Lower ash contents of outcrop samples may be due to coal deposits being up dip and further away from a marine influence than samples down-dip.

Famous quotes containing the words interpretation of, ash and/or analysis:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“Greasing the bodies of adulterers
Like Hiroshima ash and eating in.
The sin. The sin.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“Ask anyone committed to Marxist analysis how many angels on the head of a pin, and you will be asked in return to never mind the angels, tell me who controls the production of pins.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
