Significance of sorting in sedimentary rocks [PDF]
Dominant Considerations and the Question Raised The facts that the grains composing most sedimentary rocks show more or less sorting, that this sorting is not uniform, either in degree or kind, and that the rocks are known to have been laid down by various agents, naturally leads to the question: To what extent may it be possible to determine, from ...

Description and Dynamic Analyses of the 1935 Luchedu Rock Avalanche in Sichuan, China
The Luchedu rock avalanche (LRA) that occurred in 1935 at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in Southwest China is a disaster chain of the rock slide, debris avalanche, and river blocking induced by heavy rainfall.

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]
The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

Mechanistic Links Between the Sedimentary Redox Cycle and Marine Acid-Base Chemistry [PDF]
The redox state of Earth's surface is controlled on geological timescales by the flow of electrons through the sedimentary rock cycle, mediated largely by the weathering and burial of C‐S‐Fe phases. These processes buffer atmospheric pO₂.

Classification of Red-Bed Rock Mass Structures and Slope Failure Modes in South China
Red beds are Meso−Cenozoic continental sedimentary strata that are mainly composed of gravel stone, sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, and shale and occasionally have interlayers of limestone, halite, and gypsum.
