Overview & Summary ofSedimentary Petrology Book

The study of sediments and sedimentary rocks continues to be a core topic in the Earth Sciences and this book aims to provide a concise account of their composition, mineralogy, textures, structures, diagenesis and depositional environments.

These bring sediments to life and show their beauty and colorful appearance down the microscope; they will aid the student enormously in laboratory petrographic work.

New tables have been included to help undergraduates with rock and thin-section description and interpretation. Introduction: Basic Concepts And Methodology.
