1. A method for creating a stratal-slice volume comprising: performing, by a processor, a domain transformation process to create the stratal-slice volume, wherein the stratal-slice volume includes a plurality of artificial horizontal surfaces, each horizontal surface representing a paleo-depositional surface, wherein at least one of the plurality of artificial horizontal surfaces crosses at least one corrected fault, wherein the corrected fault has been aligned at least horizontally and vertically; and storing, on a storage media, the stratal-slice volume.
