The earlier editions of this book have been used by successivegenerations of students for more than 20 years, and it is thestandard text on the subject in most British universities and manyothers throughout the world. The study of sediments and sedimentary rocks continues to be acore topic in the Earth Sciences and this book aims to provide aconcise account of their composition, mineralogy, textures,structures, diagenesis and depositional environments. This latest edition is noteworthy for the inclusion of 16 plateswith 54 colour photomicrographs of sedimentary rocks inthin-section. These bring sediments to life and show their beautyand colorful appearance down the microscope; they will aid thestudent enormously in laboratory petrographic work. The text hasbeen revised where necessary and the reference and further readinglists brought up-to-date. New tables have been included to helpundergraduates with rock and thin-section description andinterpretation. New 16-page colour section will mean students do not need tobuy Longman Atlas All illustrations redrawn to higher standard Complete revision of text - new material on sedimentarygeochemistry, etc

Excerpt from An Introduction to Sedimentary Petrography: With Special Reference to Loose Detrital Deposits and Their Correlation by Petrographic Methods This book has been designed to meet the requirements of all those engaged in the study of microscopical examination of sediments - more especially incoherent detrital deposits - whether for academic or economic purpose. The plan adopted is much the same as that forming the basis of a course of lectures in Sedimentary Petrography (as applied to Oil Technology) given by the author at the Royal School of Mines, and as many of the methods involved are new, not in principle but in application, it is thought that a useful purpose may be served by presenting them in a concise form to a larger audience. The application of Sedimentary Petrography to certain branches of pure and economic geology, the gradual evolution of the higher technique involved, and the parts played by British geologists in laying the foundations of the subject, are sufficiently discussed in the Introduction which follows, rendering further remarks in connexion therewith unnecessary. At the outset, however, it is desirable to emphasise the fact that, as with other branches of natural science and their technical applications, no degree of finality can be said to have been achieved, and an enormous amount of research, both in the field and in the laboratory, awaits prosecution. Petrographic methods as means of correlating loose detrital sediments (with which this volume is largely concerned), constitute a factor of the greatest possible import in practical geology.

Both authors have created this textbook to show students how sedimentary strata serves geologists as a continuous record of Earth's history. The authors' conversational style, and focus on the important concepts make the book highly accessible to an undergraduate audience. Such complex ideas are broken down and made understandable to geology students. Written for a first course in sedimentary geology or sedimentary rocks and stratigraphy (with only an introductory geology/physical geology course as a prerequisite). Each chapter focuses on general principles, without bringing in too much detail too quickly, allowing students to develop a solid base level of understanding core concepts. An accessible title for those covering two principal fields of sedimentary geology—sedimentary petrology (properties of sedimentary rocks, their classification and nomenclature) and stratigraphy (defines and describes natural bodies of rock).

This is a book for beginners. Not geological beginners, because an introductory course in paleontology and some knowledge of the petrographic microscope is assumed, but for beginners in the study of the petrography of fossil constituents in sedimentary rocks. Fossils are studied for various reasons: 1) to provide chron ologic (time) frameworks, 2) to delineate rock units and ancient environments, or 3) to understand the past development (evolu tion) of living plants and animals. All of these uses may be at tained through petrographic studies of thin sections of fossils embedded in sedimentary rocks. Some knowledge of the appear ance of fossils in thin section is also fundamental for general stratigraphic studies, biofacies analyses, and is even useful in studying some metamorphic rocks. Commonly, fossils are essen tial for the delineation of carbonate rock types (facies or bio facies). We have written this book for sedimentary petrologists and stratigraphers, who routinely encounter fossils as part of their studies but who are not specialists in paleontology, and for students who are seeking a brief review and an introduction to the literature of the petrography of fossiliferous sedimentary rocks. Although experienced paleontologists may be appalled by the many generalized statements on size, shape, and principal fossil characters recited herein, we counter that we have had some success in introducing non-paleontologically oriented geologists to the use and identification of fossil constituents without using excessive paleontological terminology and detailed systematics.
