absolute elevation/level of the footwall at xxx
mur - terme de mineur désignant la surface inférieure d'une formation, ou bien les terrains situés immédiatement sous elle. Ex. le mur d'un filon, d'une couche de houille. On parle aussi du mur d'une faille. [Dict. de géologie, Foucault/Raoult]
footwall - the lower wall of country rock in contact with a vein or lode. [Chambers' Earth Sciences Dict.]
Quite what they mean by "absolute" I don't understand, however.
