Overview

The book brings together the methods used in microfacies analysis and details the potential of microfacies in evaluating depositional environments and diagenetic history, and, in particular, applying microfacies data in the study of carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs and the provenance of archaeological materials. The first part of the book introduces microfacies analysis; the second part deals with the interpretation of the microfacial data; and the third part explores the practical use of microfacies. This last part focuses on the facies controls of reservoir and host rocks, the importance of microfacies and diagenesis for understanding technological properties of carbonate rocks and the destruction and conservation of carbonate objects, and discusses the potential of microfacies for archaeometrical studies. Nearly 400 instructive plates and figures (30 in color) showing thin-section photographs with detailed explanations form a central part of the content.

Reviews

From the reviews: My general conclusion is: FlA1/4gel achieved a momentous job in newly summarising the huge volume of dispersed data of one type of geological phenomena as preserved in our billion-year (well, approximately!) old stratigraphic record a as evidenced alone by many of the authora (TM)s theoretical and practical comparative diagrams and tables. Dear reader, dona (TM)t be without this reference handbook, or mini-encyclopaedia! Every geological or Earth science company, college or university and research institute library ought to have a copy. Karl WolfThe Australian Geologist, Newsletter, No. 135, p.45-46, June 30, 2005 Written for upper level undergraduates and graduates and can also be used in research, exploration and production of hydrocarbons and ores. a ] An appendix presents answers to exercises distributed throughout the text. a ] It is clear that this work is the result of lifelong research a ] . new aspects have been added, and up-to-date references and personal communications are used. a ] A remarkable feature of the book is the abundance of excellent quality illustrations and the lengthy and detailed plate captions.

The wealth of figures is a good basisfrom which academic teachers can prepare their lectures for graduate students.

There should be copies in every university library and petrology teaching laboratory, oil company and service company and it should have a place on the shelves of every sedimentologist. It is a book the young sedimentologist will have to read methodically, and the experienced specialist can learn much from it.
