GEOL 610 Seminar in Sedimentary Petrology

Advanced coverage of sedimentary rocks, their constituents, their environments of deposition, and the diagenetic processes that alter them after deposition. Proficiency in recognition of sedimentary constituents, in naming sedimentary rock types, and in interpretation of depositional, diagenetic, and provenance processes is expected. Prerequisite: GEOL 412 or 512, or permission of the instructor.
