Description	The stratigraphic separation diagram (SSD) is an often neglected tool of fault analysis, which assists with the interpretation of both the fault-surface geometry and the mechanism of faulting. As the SSD needs to evaluate displacement or separation along the fault, this particular method can be used only in areas with well-documented stratigraphic sequences. This paper presents details of some common patterns obtained when using SSDs and also discusses some real examples of two apparently similar faults found in the Barrandian area in the Czech Republic.
