sedimentary rock
1 describes rock made from solid material left by the action of water, ice, or wind
Obviously, a considerable selective assimilation of specific particles is taking place following ingestion of the bulk sedimentary organic matter.
However, we interpret the veins to be a product of extensional deformation and fluid flow, rather than a sedimentary feature.
The sharp-based sandstones with traction-generated internal sedimentary structures represent storm eventbeds emplaced by episodic storm-generated currents.
In such cases, matching the sedimentary characters is the only way to correlate litho-sections.
Higher up in the sedimentary record, calcite becomes the most prominent carbonate mineral.
Its imager has recently discovered evidence of ancient lakes with layering features indicative of erosion and sedimentary deposition owing to the action of water.
Image processing was applied to find the fringes of characteristic etch pits that are typical for aqueous sedimentary grains.
The book is far more than a mere description of sedimentary indicators of facies and of fossils as tracers of environment.
