An accessible and engaging introductory text for geology majors, the book covers both sedimentary rocks and stratigraphy. Sedimentary Geology utilizes important current research in tectonics and sedimentation and focuses on crucial geological principles. The book covers a wide range of topics, including trace fossils, mudrocks, diagentetic structures, and seismic stratigraphy. Contributions from chemistry, physics, and structure are drawn upon throughout the book. New to this edition: - Expanded coverage of petroleum geology and chemostratigraphy, a bit more emphasis on timely topics such as glacial sedimentation,the role of meteorite impacts on sedimentation, and the long-term secular greenhouse and icehouse states of our evolving planet. - The addition of a comprehensive glossary of key terms from the text.

- There is a list of interesting web sites relevant to the study of sedimentary geology at the end of most chapters. PREFACE PART I: SEDIMENTARY PROCESSES AND PRODUCTS 1.
