Abstract
An apparatus for measuring geologic strike and dip of a formation. The apparatus includes a support plate, a first rotation plate disposed on the support plate and parallel to the support plate, the first rotation plate being rotatable parallel to the support plate, a second rotation plate hinge-coupled to the first rotation plate, the second rotation plate being rotatable about a hinge shaft, a protractor configured to read an angle between the first rotation plate and the second rotation plate; and a measuring unit including a compass disposed on the second rotation plate.

An apparatus for measuring strike and dip of a geologic formation, the apparatus comprising:
- a support plate;
- a first rotation plate connected to the support plate and positioned parallel to the support plate, the first rotation plate being rotatable parallel to the support plate;
- a second rotation plate hinge-coupled to the first rotation plate, the second rotation plate being rotatable about a hinge shaft;
- a protractor configured to read an angle between the first rotation plate and the second rotation plate;
- and
- a measuring unit comprising a compass disposed on the second rotation plate.
An apparatus for measuring strike and dip of a geologic formation, the apparatus comprising:
- a support plate;
- a first rotation plate disposed on the support plate in a posture parallel to the support plate, the first rotation plate being rotatable parallel to the support plate;
- a second rotation plate hinge-coupled to the first rotation plate and being operable for rotation about a hinge shaft, the second rotation plate being configured to support a measuring unit;
- and
- a protractor connected to the hinge shaft and being vertically disposed with respect to the first rotation plate, the protractor being configured to determine an angle between the first rotation plate and the second rotation plate.
