Carbonate Depositional Environments
2004Knowing where modern carbonates occur, what they are composed of, and what their controls are is essential for evaluating microfacies data. The objectives of this chapter are to summarize the settings and environments in which carbonate sediments are formed and to document which classifications are used for differentiating these environments.

Environments of Limestone Deposition
SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1947ABSTRACT Limestones may be divided on the basis of their depositional environments into three categories: 1) platform, 2) basin, 3) geosynclinal. Platform limestones are thin, widespread, light colored, fossiliferous limestones which are often dolomitized.

Sandstone Composition and Depositional Environment
AAPG Bulletin, 1975The detrital mineralogy of sandstones is affected significantly by depositional environment. The imprint of the environment is recorded as the relative abundance and size of individual detrital species. Differences between environments within any one basin are accompanied by concomitant changes in detrital-sediment composition. Petrographic analyses of

Coal Facies and Depositional Environment
1992In the preceding chapters coal components have been classified on the basis of physical, chemical and genetic relationships. In the following discussion these will be employed in a filtering process that is designed to detect the signatures left behind by depositional environments in the form of a distinctive coal facies.

Depositional Environments in Carbonate Rocks
1969Abstract One of the principal tasks of the geologist is to determine the depositional environments in which rocks are deposited. Although regional environmental interpretations of transgressions and regressions, movements of shoreline, and gross aspects of continental and marine sedimentation have been understood since stratigraphy ...
