sedimentology

ssive sequences. Use fossil assemblages and isotopic data to date layers. Correlate layers with regional or global stratigraphic frameworks. Recognizing Diagenetic Processes in Carbonates Diagenesis significantly alters original carbonate featu

dimentary processes are also dictated by the availability and characteristics of sediment sources. Source Areas: Rivers, eroding cliffs, and coastal dunes contribute sediments to tidal zones. Transport Pathways: Tidal currents mobilize sediments, sorting them by size
