More than half of the world's petroleum is to be found in carbonate rocks, for example in the Middle East, the former USSR and in North America. These rocks show a bewildering diversity of grains and textures, due in part to the wealth of different fossil organisms which have co…
Careful petrographic study of carbonate sediments with a polarising microscope reveals the possibilities of petroleum content. This atlas is designed to be kept in the laboratory as an aid to identifying samples in research, teaching or industry.
Precambrian carbonates are usually regarded as the simple cousins of the sedimentary realm, composed of stromatolites and dolostones, texturally not challenging and commonly altered beyond recognition by the vagaries of time, diagenesis and metamorphism. However, these carbonate…
