SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTS AND FACIES
The book describes the present day sedimentary environments and discusses the recognition of ancient analogues. It emphasises processes and their products, the use of facies, facies associations and sequences in Interpretation of ancient rocks and how environmental recognition Illuminates understanding of past climates, oceanography, biological evolution and tectonics.
"There Is no doubt that this scholarly book will be Invaluable as a text for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students aiming for an academic carreer. It will also be an essential source book for all geologists concerned with sedimentary rocks." Nature.
