High-resolution basin-wide correlations with dynamic time-warping: code and data for a case study from the Usseln Limestone (Late Devonian, Rhenish Massif, Germany)

This dataset accompanies the manuscript of Wichern et al. (GRL, 2024), entitled "Decoding Deep-Time Rhythms: Probing the limit of Stratigraphic Correlation in the Usseln Limestone's (Late Devonian) Time-Specific Facies". It contains both datasets and code. 

The dataset concerns samples collected from the Usseln Limestone, a rock unit that underlies the Late Devonian Kellwasser Crisis deposits in the Rhenish Massif, western Germany. The data consists of high-resolution thin-section composite photos, as well as micro-XRF scanning data (both maps and depth records) for three localities. The code contains the workflow to structure and plot the micro-XRF maps and convert them to depth records, as well as the workflow to analyse these depth records using dynamic time warping. Further analytical details can be found in the supporting material of the associated manuscript.
