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 the oil industry. This volume is designed to take the
reader from the basic aspects of limestone recognition and
classification through to an appreciation of the most recent
developments such as large scale facies modelling and isotope
geochemistry. Novel aspects of the book include a detailed review
of carbonate mineralogy, non-marine carbonate depositional
environments and an in-depth look at carbonate deposition and
diagenesis through geologic time. In addition, the reviews of
individual depositional systems stress a process-based approach
rather than one centered on simple comparative sedimentology. The
unique quality of this book is that it contains integrated reviews
of carbonate sedimentology and diagenesis, within one volume.

Catuneanu O. Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy
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...

Schlager W. Carbonate Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy
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...

Academic Press, 2 edition, 2000, 523 Pages, ISBN: 0126363757. There are three types of rock-igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Sedimentary rocks form from the weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition of older rocks. Applied Sedimentology describes the formation, transportation and deposition of sediment, and the post-depositional processes that change soft sediment into sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks include sandstones, limest...
