Petrology of Sedimentary Rocks

Further, it discusses application of insights derived from study of rock properties to interpretation of their origin, including provenance sedi- ment source , depositional environments, and diagenesis. Part I of the book deals with basic principles related to the origin, classification and occurrence of sedimentary rocks. Part II describes and discusses the siliciclastic sedimentary rocks such as sandstones.

Sedimentary petrology

Sedimentary petrology is a broad scientific discipline that encompasses study of all kinds of sedimentary rocks, including those that constitute a relatively small volume of total sedimentary rocks. These volumetrically minor rock types nonetheless provide valuable insight into Earth history, and some are economically significant. Thus, the book gives significant coverage to minor rock types such as cherts, phosphorites and iron-rich sedimentary rocks, as well as to more abundant sedimentary rocks such as sandstones, shales and limestones, which make up the bulk of the sedimentary rock record.

Petrologic study requires application of suitable techniques for field and laboratory observation and analysis. Several kinds of studies, such as measuring and describing sedimentary structures, are carried out in the field before specimens are collected for further analysis. In the laboratory, petrographic microscopy is a venerable, basic tool for studying the composition and texture of sedimentary rocks; however, it is being supplemented increasingly by a variety of other tools and techniques see Chapter 1. Electron microscopy, cathodoluminescence microscopy, X-radiography, electron probe microanalysis, Fourier analysis and various kinds of spectroscopic analyses are examples of techniques that allow further optical, geochemical and physical characterization of sedimentary rocks.
