Hi everyone:

If you're collecting structural data (e.g., alpha-beta-gamma) from orientated drillcore, check out this LinkedIn article on the uncertainty of alpha values measured with the popular Kenometer tool.

Maybe +/-5 degrees isn't significant in your project but orientated drillcore is expensive to collect.

Please share your thoughts.
