A really impressive visualization - and first time I've seen anything like it. I'm curious why it wasn't more popular.
I've only ever seen something similar by the British Geological Society in 2015:

Both of these are fantastic visual aids for those with a moderate amount of geology knowledge.

Often crossections are meant to be functional, eg, grabbing a ruler and measuring. As such, these seem more useful than actual. You'd still want a flat section if you're trying to estimate location and depth.
This is both trippy-looking and very informative at the same time. I love these!
