Nichols Gary. Sedimentology and Stratigraphy

2nd edition. — Wiley-Blackwell, 2009. — 432 p. — ISBN-10: 1405135921; ISBN-13: 978-1405135924.This book has been written for students who are studying geology at university and it is intended to provide them with an introduction to sedimentology and stratigraphy. It is hoped that the text is accessible to those who are completely new to the subject and that it will also provide a background in concepts and terminology used in more advanced work.Introduction: sedimentology and stratigraphy
