Sedimentary Rocks of Early Mars

Science, 2000
Layered and massive outcrops on Mars, some as thick as 4 kilometers, display the geomorphic attributes and stratigraphic relations of sedimentary rock. Repeated beds in some locations imply a dynamic depositional environment during early martian history.

The Sedimentary Rock Record of Mars: Distribution, Origins, and Global Stratigraphy

, 2012
The last decade of Mars exploration produced a series of discoveries that provide compelling evidence for the existence of sedimentary rocks on Mars. Previously, Mars was regarded principally as a volcanic planet, the dominant surface processes of which ...

Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks

2018
We 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 ...

Sedimentary Rocks—Descriptive

1978
The factor of grade size is the one most used for the classification of sedimentary rocks (p. 190). Four groups may be distinguished:— 1. Rudaceous 1—Rocks consisting chiefly of gravel, pebbles, cobbles, or boulders. Loose materials of this class are gravels, pebble-beds, shingle, boulder-beds, scree, talus, etc.

Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks

2020
Thus sediments are products of mechanical and/or chemical weathering and they are transported by different media and over variable distances to a site of deposition, be it marine or terrestrial. Transport can be achieved simply by gravity, leading to bulk downward transfer of rock masses such as in the case of landslides or mountain creeps.

Nomenclature for Sedimentary Rocks

AAPG Bulletin, 1970
Despite the many excellent papers on classification of sedimentary rocks, there is still so much loose and variable usage of names that it is not possible to be certain of--or in some cases even to guess at--the intended meanings of terms found in the literature.

Proterozoic Sedimentary Rocks

1993
Abstract Over vast areas of the undeformed platform of southwestern Canada, the sedimentary cover of the ancient North American Craton is entirely of Phanerozoic age. In northwestern Canada, on the other hand, thick Proterozoic strata intervene between Phanerozoic deposits and crystalline basement (Fig. 4A.1).
