Carbonate rocks (limestones and dolomites) constitute a major part
of the geological column and contain not only 60% of the world's
known hydrocarbons but also host extensive mineral deposits. This
book represents the first major review of carbonate sedimentology
since the mid 1970's. It is aimed at the advanced undergraduate -
postgraduate level and will also be of major interest to geologists
working in the oil industry.
"Carbonate Sedimentology" is designed to take the reader from
the basic aspects of limestone recognition and classification
through to an appreciation of the most recent developments such as
large scale facies modelling and isotope geochemistry. Novel
aspects of the book include a detailed review of carbonate
mineralogy, non-marine carbonate depositional environments and an
in-depth look at carbonate deposition and diagenesis through
geologic time. In addition, the reviews of individual depositional
systems stress a process-based approach rather than one centered on
simple comparative sedimentology. The unique quality of this book
is that it contains integrated reviews of carbonate sedimentology
and diagenesis, within one volume.
