Although this book focuses on one relatively limited topic, its significance is far wider and touches on many aspects of sedimentary geology.
Indeed, this signal may ' ' be influenced locally by other parameters such as sedimentary sorting and/or reworking of old taxa into younger strata.
The sedimentary record shows a hierarchical sequence stratigraphic organization, which implies sea-level changes of different frequencies.
Most of these sedimentary rock fragments are restricted to coarse arenites and fine diamictites.
Stratigraphic models depict continental margin sedimentation in ever greater numbers, but studies of their real sedimentary sequences have, with exceptions, gently slipped into the background.
He then seamlessly explains sequence stratigraphy, with the emphasis on how biostratigraphy is an integral part of this unifying theory of sedimentary geology.
Formation by marine and littoral processes is inferred from marine fossils, glauconite and sedimentary features in the basal sedimentary cover.
The book is far more than a mere description of sedimentary indicators of facies and of fossils as tracers of environment.
