Sedimentary Rocks in the Field: A Color Guide 2 reviews
Dorrik A.V. Stow
Academic Press, 2005
Superb introduction to sedimentary rocks and structures.
This book is one of the best introductions to sedimentary rocks and their structures that I have come across in 25 years.
It begins with a section on the structures found in sedimentary rocks. The diagrams are clear, concise, and very well explained. The photographs that go with them are among the best I've seen for demonstrating sedimentary structures. They are almost professional in their ...

Sedimentary Geology2 reviews
Donald R. Prothero, Fred Schwab
W. H. Freeman, 2003
Well-written, informative sediment and stratigraphy text
This is a very good, thorough, and informative text that covers all the basics of sedimentology and stratigraphy. It is frequently used as a textbook in such classes, including when I took it at Baylor University. It is easy to understand, well-organized, and very clear.

Advances in Fluvial Dynamics and Stratigraphy1 review
Wiley, 1996
One of the Best Sediment Compilations Available
After the fourth time I chased a promising reference into the library and emerged with this book I knew it was something special. Carling and Dawson put together a very good compilation that remains compelling a decade later. Best was the appropriate (must...resist...obvious...pun) choice to review the flurry of recent developments in bedform mechanics. His 60 page overview is itself worth ...

Depositional Sedimentary Environments, With Reference to Terrigenous Clastics1 review
Hans-Erich Reineck
Springer-Verlag, 1981
An excellent read and great resource book
An excellent book. Very technical and precise and yet not difficult to understand. Many diagrams and charts make it easier to understand. Many modern examples are given of various wave-ripple types as well as bedforms. I like it. It's the best that I could find. Topics covered include Physical Parameters, Current and Wave Ripples, Surface Markings and Imprints, Scour Marks, Tool Marks, ...

Cannot find dolomite granulation technology.
Would like to know if anyone has technology on graunating dolomite into a very small granule at about 0.3 - 0.5 mm. diameter. This will be for prawn farming usage.

C. E. B. Conybeare, K. A. W. Crook
Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics, 1968
These would make nice jewelry...for a geologist
Rare and out of print study of sediment. The first section is detailed description, classification and analysis of all these kinds of structures, but the majority of the book is a fascinating look at detailed excellent photographs of these sediments, with exact location and how these particular sediments were formed. It's really a great identification manual! Highly recommended for scientists, ...

Gary Nichols
Wiley-Blackwell, 1999
Starters' kit for sedimentology
This well written book contains most important subjects involved in sedimentology. Besides sedimentology a small introduction to stratigraphy can be found. The focus is on sedimentary systems and special chapters are devoted to delta's, rivers, lacustrine and marine environments. Clear illustrations are a great help understanding the text and developing an overall idea of the subjects. Overall a ...

Sedimentary Environments and Facies1 review
READING
WileyBlackwell, 1981
Stunning
An amazing book. I've only had a chance to leaf through but it is immensely descriptive. Lots of sketches, figures of sedimentary environments, photos, TONS of explanation, etc... I really wish this book were available when I was a student - I might have liked sed. rocks a lot better. This book is opening my eyes. I highly recommend it as a starter or very advanced read.

Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins: From Turbulence to Tectonics1 review
Mike Leeder
Wiley-Blackwell, 1999
Sedimentary geology as an integrated discipline...
I think Leeder's textbook will appeal to anyone who's striving to learn more about sedimentology and dynamic stratigraphy. It's a concise, yet thorough introduction to many topics selected within the vast, ever-expanding (and worryingly so! ) field of sedimentary geology... The author's main goal was probably to provide readers with a clear sense of how well integrated sedimentary geology now is ...

Basin Analysis: Principles and Applications1 review
Philip A. Allen, John R. Allen
Wiley-Blackwell, 2005
Good reference text
I bought this book as a reference to refresh my mind on Basin Anaysis before returning to work. It has all the essentials if you like the mathematical approach. I found it a bit dry and the diagrams could have used a bit of colour. All in all it is was it is, a text book.

Excellent insight to San Diego's geology
An excellent book! I find myself continuously recommending it. Fascinating from a geology and local interest point of view. I'll never look at La Jolla, Mission Bay and Point Loma the same way again.
