Learning Outcomes
- recognize the principle components of sedimentary rocks, including cements, matrix, and diagenetic minerals.
- describe and analyze the texture imposed on sedimentary rocks due to transport and alteration of the component grains.
- recognize alteration of sedimentary rocks due to burial and time.
- gather numerical data apply standard statistical methods determine source, tectonic setting, and post-depositional alteration.
