Product Description
This is an accessible introductory text for geology students, which encompasses both sedimentary rocks and stratigraphy. "Sedimentary Geology" utilizes important research in tectonics and sedimentation and focuses on crucial geological principles. The text covers a wide range of topics, including trace fossils, mudrocks, diagentetic structures and seismic stratigraphy. Contributions from chemistry, physics and structure are drawn upon throughout the book. The second edition brings the text right up to date and includes new sections on peri-glacial environments and the use of palesols new research covering recent thoughts about aragonite/calcite seas new developments in organodiagenetic dolomite models and perspective on the effect of drastic historical changes in the earth and findings on these changes in the sedimentary record.

Required Text for Sedimentary & Stratigraphy October 27, 2007

This was a required textbook for an sedimentary and structures undergrad geology class. The images are black and white, but the book is still useful.
Well-written, informative sediment and stratigraphy text May 5, 1999

This is a very good, thorough, and informative text that covers all the basics of sedimentology and stratigraphy. It is frequently used as a textbook in such classes, including when I took it at Baylor University. It is easy to understand, well-organized, and very clear.
