Petrology of sedimentary Rocks an advanced textbook describing the physical,chemical,and biologic properties of the major types of sedimentary rocks, as revealed by petrographic microsopy,geochemical techniques,and field study. It covers the mineralogy,chemistry,texture,and sedimentary structures that characterize sedimentary rocks, and relates these features to the depositional origin of the rocks, amd their subsequent alteration by diagenetic processes during burial. In addition detailed section on siliciclastic rocks (sandstones,shale,conglomerates) and carbonate rocks (limestones and dolomites), it also discusses evaporites,cherts,iron-rich sedimentary rocks,phosphorites,and carbonaceous sedimentary rocks such as oil shales. This Second Edition maintains the fundamental structure of the original book,and present a comprehensive treatment of sedimentary petrography and petrology. It has been thoroughly updated to include new concepts and ideas, and cuttingedge techniques such as cathodoluminescece imaging of sedimantary rovks and backscattered electron microscopy.Numerous photographs and diagram illustrate characteristic features,while an extensive and up-to-date reference list provides a useful starting p[oint for additional literature research. This textbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in sedimentary petrology.It is also a key reference for researchers and professional petroleum geoscientists wanting to develop an understanding of the petrologic characteristic of sedimentary rocks and their gological signifinance.
