Résumé du livre
The study of sediments is concerned with (I) the physical conditions of deposition of a sediment,whether glacial,fluvial marine,etc.;(2) the time of formation or age of the de posit;and (3) the provenance,or area of denudation that furnished the material composing the sediment.All of the analytical methods described in this volume have as their common aim the elucidation of these points.
