  • Sedimentology of Shale

    Study Guide and Reference Source

    by Paul E. Potter, Wayne A. Pryor, J. Barry Maynard ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    We wrote Sedimentology of Shale primarily because we lacked a handy, reasonably comprehensive source of information and ideas about shales for students in our sedimentology program. It was also our feeling that the time for shales to receive more study had finally arrived. Sedimentology of Shale also seems very timely because today more sedimentologists are interested in shales. Certainly in the ... Read more
