This volume covers the formation and biogeochemistry of a variety of important sediment types from their initial formation through their conversion (diagenesis) to sedimentary rocks. The volume deals with the chemical, mineralogical, and isotopic properties of sediments and sedi…
This illustrated textbook describes how past changes in sea-level can be detected through an analysis of the sedimentary record, and how sequence stratigraphy techniques can provide explanations of how the sedimentary system evolves through geological time. Designed for use in u…
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.
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…
