Sedimentary Geology: Rocks, Environments and Stratigraphy
An undergraduate-level textbook that covers the fundamentals of sedimentology, depositional environments and stratigraphy. We provide a modest amount of text that focuses on essential concepts and support it with hundreds of color photographs, illustrations, and videos. Captions accompanying the visual components highlight the major points but allow for more detailed discussions and questions.
