The marine/lacustrine unit is interpreted to represent two phases of development of the Grand Lake area: (1) a lower part representing initial deposition in an open water marine environment, changing upward into an inland sea likely from isostatic rebound and captured marine water, and (2) water in the basin becoming increasingly fresher and lacustrine-like.

The system features one-micron Heidenhain glass scales and the thermo-balanced, artificially-aged, pearlitic cast-iron structure that ensures the equipment is fully isostatic and will not deform or distort over time or temperature change.

STP-35 Base and STP-35 EzVision Systems feature extended height to accommodate tools up to 20" in length and display resolution of 0.001mm for added precision

A thermobalanced and artificially aged pearlitic cast iron structure makes the STP-35 EzVision isostatic and unable to deform or distort over time or during temperature changes.
