The book summarizes about 40 years of the author 's research on
sedimentary geology in an epicontinental (shelf) sea during the
Late Jurassic in northern Switzerland. It presents a synopsis of
the interplay of varying paleoclimate, of sea level variations, of
varying water depth, of sea floor topography, of vertical and
lateral facies changes, of processes of sedimentation like
aggradation and progradation, of compaction, of the great regional
differences in rates of sedimentation and in isostatic
equilibration of the lithosphere under load, and of concomitant
synsedimentary tectonics. Regional variation in isostatic
adjustment of the lithosphere to the increasing load of sediments
is analyzed by means of time correlations based on a detailed
biochronology of ammonites in combination with mineral stratigraphy
using the comparatively stable clay mineral kaolinite, and with
sequence stratigraphy.
