Carbonates in Continental Settings print on demand - Facies, Environments, and Processes

Featuring the research on the petrography, facies, paleonvironmental significance and economic aspects of continental carbonates, this book focuses on the descriptive aspects and processes operating on carbonate deposits in greatly varied settings, and then considers applications for basin analysis, as well as economic and historical aspects.
