More than half of the world's petroleum is to be found in carbonate
rocks, for example in the Middle East, the former USSR and in North
America. These rocks show a bewildering diversity of grains and
textures, due in part to the wealth of different fossil organisms
which have contributed to carbonate sedimentation, and in part to a
wide variety of diagenetic processes which can radically modify
textures and obscure the depositional fabric. Careful petrographic
study with a polarising microscope is a key element of any study of
carbonate sediments, as a companion to field or core logging, and
as a necessary precursor to geochemical analysis. This atlas, which
illustrates in full colour a range of features not attempted in any
general textbook, is designed as a laboratory manual to keep beside
the microscope, as an aid to identifying grain types and textures
in carbonates. It appeals alike to undergraduate and graduate
students and to professionals in teaching institutions, research
laboratories and industry.
