This book is an outgrowth of my interest in the chemistry of sedimentary rocks. In teaching geochemistry, I realized that the best examples for many chemical processes are drawn from the study of ore deposits. Consequently, we initiated a course at The University of Cincinnati entitled "Sedimentary Ore Deposits," which serves as the final quarter course for both our sedimentary petrology and our ore deposits sequence, and this book is based on that teaching experience. Because of my orientation, the treatment given is perhaps more sedimentological than is usually found in books on ore deposits, but I hope that this proves to be an advantage. It will also be obvious that I have drawn heavily on the ideas and techniques of Robert Garrels.

Contourites are sediments deposited or substantially reworked by bottom currents. The study of contourites is nowadays crucial for several fields of fundamental and applied research:
1. palaeoclimatology and palaeoceanography, since these fairly continuous and relatively high-resolution sediments hold the key for priceless information on the variability in ocean circulation patterns, current velocities, oceanographic history and basin interconnectivity;

In October 1985, SEPM sponsored a four-day conference entitled "Sea-Level Changes—An Integrated Approach." The conference was organized by Everest Geotech, Inc., and hosted by Transco Exploration Company in Houston, Texas. Co-conveners of the conference were Dr. Cheryl Wilgus of Everest Geotech, Inc., Dr. Walter C. Pitman of Lamont-Dougherty Oceanographic Institute, and Dr. Christopher G. St. C. Kendall of the University of South Carolina.

Быть - может, многим из читателей случалось видеть море, то спокойное и блещущее торжественной красой, то бурное, мрачное и угрожающее, и иногда .задуматься о том, что скрывает под собою эта необъятная масса вод. Зто выражение — необъятная, вовсе не преувеличено.

The first edition of this book was conceived in 1974 to provide a comprehensive text, covering modern and ancient environments, suitable for advanced university students, research workers and professional geologists. To cover all environments and facies with the authority of an active research worker, we formed a group of authors who knew each other well and shared a similar philosophical view. We could criticize, amend and integrate each other's contributions, while retaining individual styles and responsibility for each chapter.

formations or indeed on any other process in which time played an integral and fundamental role. The advent of radionuclide dating, with the attendant absolute measure of age, changed the views of geology and processes that can occur in ways that have been of major significance. In addition, the radionuclides allow a direct comparison of absolute age to the prior proxies. Accordingly, not only had one available a true age dating but also a proxy scale that could be tie <...>

This book is not a revised version of “The geology of fluvial deposits” (Miall 1996), but an entirely different product.
Much of the material in the 1996 book was compiled at a time when the methods of facies analysis and architectural element analysis were maturing and were becoming widely used by the sedimentological community. The lithofacies classification which I first proposed in 1977, and the method of architectural-element analysis, set out in major papers published in 1985 and 1988, were thoroughly documented in the 1996 book (Chaps. 5–7), and little has been done since then to require revisions or an upgrade.

The baggy beds of north devon and west Somerset comprise some 440 m of shallow-water marine sandstones and shales of Upper Devonian (Famennian) age. They succeed the Pickwell Down Sandstone and Upcott Beds of Old Red Sandstone facies, and are followed by the Pilton Beds, a neritic facies. The lower part of the Pilton Beds has been correlated with the Wocklumeria Stage (Stufe) VI of the Famennian (Goldring 1955, 1957). Unpublished work on the conodont and spore assemblages indicates that the Baggy Beds are also of Wocklumeria age (R. Austin, G. Dolby & J. Williams, personal communication).  <...>

Книга посвящена творчеству выдающегося российского ученого - литолога, геохимика и палеогеографа академика Н.М. Страхова. Том содержит главы его двухтомной монографии “Основы исторической геологии”, освещающие проблемы фациального анализа древних осадочных и вулканогенноосадочных отложений, ряд журнальных статей, показывающих специфику древнего железорудного и марганцево-рудного процесса, условия формирования различных формаций осадочных пород и характеризующих эволюцию осадочного процесса в истории Земли.
Для геологов широкого профиля, литологов, тектонистов, океанологов, экологов, географов и историков науки.
