This template visualizes the dip and dip direction of planar features, such as bedding, foliation, or fractures, along a borehole or stratigraphic column. Each circle marks a dip measurement, with the attached tail indicating dip direction and length scaled by the Magnitude column.
Tadpole plots are widely used in structural geology, geotechnical engineering, and petroleum exploration to interpret folding, faulting, and bedding orientation directly from well or core data.
