5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, informative sediment and stratigraphy text, May 5, 1999

By	chetzer@hotmail.com "chetzer" (Waco, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sedimentary Geology: An Introduction to Sedimentary Rocks and Stratigraphy (Hardcover)

This is a very good, thorough, and informative text that covers all the basics of sedimentology and stratigraphy. It is frequently used as a textbook in such classes, including when I took it at Baylor University. It is easy to understand, well-organized, and very clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Text for Sedimentary & Stratigraphy, October 27, 2007

By	A. Duncan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a required textbook for an sedimentary and structures undergrad geology class. The images are black and white, but the book is still useful.
