The study of paleocurrents, since 1963, is now a very routine part
of sedimentology, and more and more such studies are finding use in
other fields. Thus it seemed appropriate for us to review post-1963
developments and present them in a compact manner for the
interested reader. Instead of rewriting a second edition, which
thirteen years later we would organize in a completely dif ferent
way, we have brought each chapter up to date with new material up
to 1976. A new update supplement has in this edition been inserted
after each one of the original chapters. We have stayed close to
the original theme of paleocurrents-how to measure them and how to
use them to solve geological problems ranging in scale from the
hand specimen to the sedimentary basin and beyond. We have used
many annotated references and tables to help pre sent this
information to the reader. The reader will note that we have cited
a few 1962 references - pUblications that appeared too late to be
cited in the original 1963 edition. A few times we have also cited
a reference which was included in the first edition. These are
marked with an asterisk and hence do not appear in the new lists of
references. We have been aided by many. In Cincinnati, WANDA
OSBORNE and JEAN CARROL did typing and RICHARD SPOHN, the
University's geological librarian, was very helpful in obtaining
many references to the literature."
