Рассмотрено становление структурно-вещественного метода (литомографин) в учении о геологических формациях. Приведена систематика осадочных тел надиородного уровня по структурно-вещественным признакам с выделением их типов, классов, родов и видов. Показано значение cтруктурно-вещественного анализа формаций в комплексе геологических работ как описательной основы для фациально-палеогеографических, тектонических построений и формационного картировани...

Bruce B. Velde, Alain Meunier. The Origin of Clay Minerals in Soils and Weathered Rocks, Sрringеr, 2008, ISBN: 3540756347, 426 p. This book aims to further a better understanding of such mechanisms, and it is thus destined for an audience of ecologists, pedologists, agronomists and other researchers involved in earth surface science. Knowledge of the origin and transformation of clay minerals, their dynamic response to changing chemistry, is the...

Elsevier, 2006, p. 375 Sequence stratigraphy analyzes the sedimentary response to changes in base level, and the depositional trends that emerge from the interplay of accommodation (space available for sediments to fill) and sedimentation. Sequence stratigraphy has tremendous potential to decipher the Earth’s geological record of local to global changes, and to improve the predictive aspect of economic exploration and production. For these reaso...

Blackwell Scientific publications, 1992, p.473. This third volume in the IAS Reprint Series reviews some of the major contributions that have been made over the last twenty years to our understanding of deep water environments. Few groups of rocks have received as much attention in recent years as deep sea sands and yet retained so many unsolved problems - How far and how fast can sediment debris flows travel? Do the many ancient series that have...

Springer-Verlag, 1992, p. 628 This book addresses both qualitative and quantitative aspects of basin analysis, including topics such as various flux rates, diagenesis, and fluid flow, in the context of plate tectonics and sedimentary geology. Tectonic subsidence and uplift are prerequisites for basin formation and terrigenous sediment supply, but sedimentary processes in a basin are governed by other factors, including water circulation and recy...

A John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , Publication 2009, 432 pages This book has been written for students who are studying geology at university and it is intended to provide them with an introduction to sedimentology and stratigraphy. It is hoped that the text is accessible to those who are completely new to the subject and that it will also provide a background in concepts and terminology used in more advanced work. Introduction: sedimentology and...

Society for Sedimentary Geology, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74235, U.S.A. , 2005, p. 208 Sedimentology and stratigraphy are neighbors yet distinctly separate entities within the earth sciences. Put in a nutshell, sedimentology searches for the common traits of sedimentary rocks regardless of age as it reconstructs environments and processes of deposition and erosion from the sediment record. Stratigraphy, by contrast, concentrates on changes with time, on...

W. Schlager, Vrije Universiteit/Earth and Life Sciences De Boelelaan 1085, 1081 HV Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2002. p. 146. ISBN 90-806364-2-8 This booklet supports a short course in carbonate sedimentology. It is meant as a teaching aid, not a replacement of the course. Anybody using it for self-study should be prepared to occasionally consult an introductory textbook, such as F?chtbauer & Richter (1988), Jones & Desrochers (1992), Tucker...

Published by The American Assotiation of Petroleum Geologists Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, 1992, p.71 Классическая сиквенс-стратиграфия в ходе своего развития базировалась, в основном, на исследовании кремнисто-обломочных систем. Использовать ее концепции для изучения карбонатов оказалось сложнее, чем предполагали вначале, даже несмотря на то что основные принципы сиквенс-стратиграфии применимы ко всем осадочным системам. Вместо того чтобы загонять исс...

Blackwell Science Ltd. , 2002. p.482. Carbonate rocks (limestones and dolomites) constitute a major part of the geological column and contain not only 60% of the world's known hydrocarbons but also host extensive mineral deposits. This book represents the first major review of carbonate sedimentology since the mid 1970's. It is aimed at the advanced undergraduate - postgraduate level and will also be of major interest to geologists working in th...
