Description
This book provides an up-to-date compilation of the latest research on the petrography, facies, paleonvironmental significance and
economic aspects of continental carbonates. The overall organization of the book first emphasizes 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. This volume will be a valuable tool for graduate and postgraduate students as well as for experienced researchers. A
CD that contains all colour figures has been inserted in the book. The second part (volume 62 in this series) will deal with
the geochemistry, diagenesis and applications of carbonates in continental settings.
