Abstract
Significant geologic data are generally those in which a statistically unexpected relationship is established. An unexpectedly high correlation coefficient, for example, requires an explanation in terms of the environment or mode of formation of the material being studied. Expected, seemingly random, relationships may, however, be significant in connection with qualitative or other subjective evidence. Data pertaining to the mode of formation of a rock or other feature must be obtained by studying properties that were out of equilibrium with the final environment of formation, whereas the environment is indicated by equilibrium features.
