A study on the Middle Jurassic strata in the Bighorn Basin, North-central Wyoming, successfully tested new high-resolution spaceborne remote sensing platforms in carbonate sedimentology. The research involved mapping various lithofacies for ground truth, determining their reflectance characteristics using on-ground systems, creating maps from remote sensing data that distinguish lithological types, and evaluating this discrimination by exploring predicted areas. Field checks confirmed the tools' ability to distinguish lithological outcrops, such as sparse silty oomicrites from sorted biosparites as small as 10 m by 10 m. In large study areas like the Bighorn Basin, the ability to pre-identify small outcrops significantly enhanced field efficiency.
