This fourth edition builds on the success of previous editions and for the first time is produced in full colour throughout with improved photos and diagrams. It retains its popular pocket size and is an essential buy for all students working in the field.
The text shows how sedimentary rocks are tackled in the field and has been written for all those with a geological background. It describes how the features of sedimentary rocks can be recorded in the field particularly through the construction of graphic logs. In succeeding chapters the various sedimentary rock types, textures and structures are discussed and shown how they can be described and measured in the field. There are expanded sections on trace fossils and volcaniclastics along with updated reference list. Finally a concluding section deals briefly with facies identification and points the ways towards facies interpretations, and the identification of sequences and cycles.

For a systematic approach to fieldwork in sedimentary terranes, Tuckers book provides an excellent framework. The main sets of sedimentary structures, fabrics e.t.c. is described in a short consise manner, as a geologist would do in the field. So if you are a novice at sedimentology like myself, or just wish to approach the outcrop studies in a more effective way, this book will be of great use.

had to have it for my field work

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ran across this little & thin book of much information when I searched the web for "green minerals". I had found them in my unconsolidated soils and after checking my mineralogy text book wanted to do some cross-comparing. An excerpt came up and I read it, and then I knew that I had to have the whole thing. Its a good guide book.
