Authoritative, accessible, and updated introduction to sedimentary rocks for undergraduate students
Sedimentary Petrology provides readers with a concise account of sedimentary rock composition, mineralogy, texture, structure, diagenesis, and depositional environments. The new edition of this classic text incorporates the many technological and analytical advances of the last decade, revealing exciting details of processes such as microbial precipitation, how microporosity is created within mudrocks, and the chemical composition of foraminifera deposits, which can be a key indicator for changing seawater temperature.
This fourth edition offers a comprehensive update and expansion of the previous editions with a new set of illustrations, new references, and further reading. The new co-author Stuart Jones has brought his considerable expertise in clastic sedimentology to the rewritten chapters on sandstones and mudrocks. The addition of color images throughout the text will aid students immensely in their studies and petrographic fieldwork.
Sample topics covered in Sedimentary Petrology include:
- Advances in modeling and programming to simulate depositional-diagenetic conditions and controls which support field-lab descriptions and interpretations
- Ocean acidification and the demise of coral reefs, and the role of the oceans in carbon capture and storage
- Sedimentary ironstones and iron-formations, sedimentary phosphate deposits, coal, oil shale and petroleum, and cherts and siliceous sediments
- Limestones, evaporites, volcaniclastic sediments, sandstones, conglomerates, breccias, and the effects of microplastics on marine organisms
Aimed at undergraduates in geology and earth science, Sedimentary Petrology is an excellent teaching and learning resource for introductory courses in sedimentary rocks.

權威、易懂且更新的沉積岩入門書籍，適合大學本科生
沉積岩石學 為讀者提供了沉積岩的組成、礦物學、質地、結構、成岩作用及沉積環境的簡明介紹。這本經典教材的新版本融入了過去十年來的許多技術和分析進展，揭示了如微生物沉澱、泥岩內微孔隙的形成過程，以及有孔蟲沉積物的化學組成等令人興奮的細節，這些都可能是海水溫度變化的關鍵指標。
這第四版對前幾版進行了全面的更新和擴展，新增了一組插圖、新的參考文獻和進一步閱讀的資料。新合著者Stuart Jones將他在碎屑沉積學方面的豐富專業知識帶入了重新編寫的砂岩和泥岩章節。書中新增的彩色圖片將極大地幫助學生在學習和岩石學實地工作中的理解。
沉積岩石學 涵蓋的示例主題包括：
- 模擬沉積-成岩條件和控制的建模與編程進展，支持現場-實驗室的描述和解釋
- 海洋酸化與珊瑚礁的衰退，以及海洋在碳捕集和儲存中的角色
- 沉積鐵石和鐵礦、沉積磷酸鹽沉積物、煤、油頁岩和石油，以及燧石和矽質沉積物
- 石灰岩、蒸發岩、火山碎屑沉積物、砂岩、礫岩、角礫岩，以及微塑料對海洋生物的影響
針對地質學和地球科學的本科生，沉積岩石學 是一個優秀的教學和學習資源，適合沉積岩的入門課程。
