Recognition of Sedimentary Rock Occurrences in Satellite and Aerial Images of Other Worlds—Insights from Mars [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 Sedimentary rocks provide records of past surface and subsurface processes and environments. The first step in the study of the sedimentary rock record of another world is to learn to recognize their occurrences in images from instruments aboard orbiting,

The Age and Erosion Rate of Young Sedimentary Rock on Mars [PDF]
Planetary Science Journal 3 246 (2022), 2022 The Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) is an enigmatic sedimentary unit near the equator of Mars, with an uncertain formation process and absolute age. Due to the heavily wind-eroded surface, it is difficult to determine the absolute model age of the MFF using a one-parameter model based on the crater size-frequency distribution function with existing ...

A Growth Model for Porous Sedimentary Rocks [PDF]
, 1997 A growth model for porous sedimentary rocks is proposed, using a simple computer simulation algorithm. We generate the structure by ballistic deposition of particles with a bimodal size distribution.

Quantitative Analysis of Experimental and Synthetic Microstructures for Sedimentary Rock [PDF]
, 1999 A quantitative comparison between the experimental microstructure of a sedimentary rock and three theoretical models for the same rock is presented. The microstructure of the rock sample (Fontainebleau sandstone) was obtained by microtomography.

Depositional environment of Jurassic deposits in the Binalud basin, according to the provenance and paleo-tectonic setting, northwest of Mashhad, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2021 The thick Jurassic fluvial coarse-grained sediments rest non-conformably on older metamorphic rocks to the northwest of Mashhad. Two sections, 300 and 400 m thick, were measured and studied through the Jurassic deposits.

Study on sedimentary facies characteristics of Xujiahe Formation in Sichuan Basin [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Sedimentary facies is the summation of all primary sedimentary features in a sedimentary unit, which is the product of sedimentation in a specific environment. It emphasizes the material performance of sediment formation conditions, including mineralogy,
