Carbonate Depositional Environments
Carbonate Depositional Environments is a comprehensive reference work that provides a detailed examination of the settings in which carbonate rocks are formed. The book is structured into several sections, each focusing on a specific depositional environment, ranging from non-marine settings like lakes and caliches to deep-marine environments such as slopes and basins. Each chapter typically includes a discussion of the physical, chemical, and biological processes active in the environment, along with a description of the resulting sedimentary facies and their diagnostic features. Richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, this memoir serves as an essential tool for geologists in identifying and interpreting ancient carbonate sequences.
