دانلود کتاب Sedimentary Rocks in the Field - A Color Guide

This guide is a much needed addition to the literature of sedimentology. Eleven of the 15 chapters define the main types of sedimentary rock and illustrate them in all their beauty and variety with numerous color photographs. The remaining chapters provide introductions to field techniques, principal characteristics of sedimentary rocks, and interpretations of depositional environments. The provision of stratigraphic time scales, mapping symbols, grain-size comparator chart and sediment description checklist, together with Wulff stereonet and Lambert equal-area projection templates, further adds to its usefulness in and out of the field. This book is intended for ease of field use by students, professionals, and amateurs alike. Content: Front Matter • Preface • Table of Contents 1. Overview 2. Field Techniques 3.
