GEOL 4311 - Sedimentation-Sed Petrology

Institution:

Georgia Southwestern State University

Subject:

Description:

Sedimentation deals with the study of sediment properties, transport mechanisms/dynamics, and the development of sedimentary structures as tools for interpreting paleoenvironments and for predicting rock texture. Sedimentary petrology involves understanding how weathering processes, transport mechanisms, and depositional systems leave interpretable records of themselves in rocks. Petrographic characteristics of the more common sedimentary rocks are examined in this context. (3-2-4) Prerequisites: GEOL 3121
