A Classification of Sedimentary Rocks
The Journal of Geology, 1948A simple field and laboratory classification of sedimentary rocks is proposed. It is based fundamentally on composition and texture, with the primary divisions determined by the mode of origin of the constituents. Tt is tripartite in nature, consisting of (1) a dominantly fragmental division, including conglomerates, sandstones, and shales; (2) a ...

Microstructures of sedimentary rocks
2004Introduction Although this book is mainly concerned with igneous, metamorphic and deformation processes, in this chapter I briefly review the main sedimentary microstructures, partly because they need to be understood in order to interpret residual sedimentary microstructures in some metamorphic rocks.

Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks
2018We are on more familiar ground in this chapter, looking at processes and materials found in the world all around us. Even the names of sedimentary rocks are well known—sandstone, shale, limestone, and so on. Clearly, these materials are highly relevant to vineyard geology because more than three-quarters of the land surface is sedimentary in origin ...

Provenance of sedimentary rocks
2010Understanding the origins, or provenance, of a sedimentary deposit is an important aspect of geology. Sedimentary rocks are derived from the erosion of other rocks and thus provide important records of the geological environment at the time they were deposited.
