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.

Sedimentary Rocks

open access: yes
This in-depth description of sedimentary rocks covers their classification as clastic, carbonate, or chemical/biochemical as well as their depositional environments, known as long and short clastic systems and carbonate depositional environments. It also

The organization of sedimentary rocks

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1950
Abstract Attempted practical applications of existing classifications of sedimentary rocks commonly encounter difficulties and inconsistencies: (1) sediments normally unassociated during deposition are artificially grouped together; (2) inferences about environment, degree of tectonic influence, and other factors not everywhere ...

A Classification of Sedimentary Rocks

The Journal of Geology, 1948
A 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 ...
