Asymmetric picking tools   Quick Tip!

Picking an angular unconformity can be an exercise in frustration. It’s common for automatic propagators to wander off and track down a tilted layer, rather than the depositional surface above. Insight’s asymmetric horizon picking tools can handle this easily.
