Synopsis

"Cycles and Events in Stratigraphy" describes a large variety of marine bedding features, including gravity mass flows, siliceous sediments, phosphorites, shallow water carbonates and glacio-marine cycles, and stratification phenomena in lacustrine sediments, coal cycles, and tephra layers on land and below the seas. Scales range from annual varves to larger, mainly sea-level controlled, sedimentary sequences. Secondary effects, such as biological response and feed-back mechanisms, trace fossil tiering and diagenetic overprinting, are also presented as well as special techniques in timing and correlating cyclic and event bedding phenomena. This book follows a previous volume, "Cyclic and Event Stratification", but adopts a wider-ranging approach, addressing graduate students as well as professionals in geology, sedimentology, stratigraphy and paleontology.
