Miocene carbonates are intensively explored and locally exploited for hydrocarbons in parts of the Mediterranean regions. The outcrop models presented in this publication provide excellent analogs for the highly productive Miocene carbonates from Iran, Iraq and Gulf of Suez and …
Looking for insights and methods useful for predicting and identifying subaerial exposure surfaces and associated porosity? This memoir addresses four major topics: Detection of unconformities; Modification of porosity during exposure; Preservation of porosity during burial; and…
This is a full-colour collection of thin-section photographs depicting characteristics of carbonates. It is not a collection of classic examples, but rather a useful guide targeted to the explorationist or beginning petrographer. Over 375 full-colour photos plus many black and w…
"The purpose of this book is to make available to geologists who may not be specialists in carbonate petrography a volume which illustrates the major grains, textures, cements and porosity types found in carbonate rocks."--Introduction.
