Integrating graphic correlation and similarity matrix of the Early Paleogene rock units in South Sinai, Egypt
This article aims to provide a simple and applicable method of measuring the rock accumulation rate and recording the depositional events based on the application of graphic correlation and similarity matrix of the Paleogene planktonic foraminifera in two surface sections in South Sinai.
