In Petrology of Sedimentary Rocks, Dr. Sam Boggs wrote what has come to be considered the definitive text on the subject of sedimentary petrology. The book is intended for students at the senior and graduate level. The text provides a comprehensive description, classification and interpretation of all major sedimentary rock groups. The essential aspects of diagenesis, particle and chemical composition, and provenance receive unparalleled coverage. Photographs, line drawings and tables are utilized to enhance understanding and illustrate sedimentary structures, textures and compositions. A clear, fluid writing style distills the vast amount of information contained in the text, and presentation of controversial topics provides students with insight into divergent views and opinions. Prior to receiving his Ph.D. in geology from the University of Colorado in 1964, Sam Boggs worked as a petroleum exploration geologist for the Phillips Petroleum Company. On completion of his doctorate, Dr. Boggs conducted research for Esso Production Research, applying geological and geophysical techniques to interpret the stratigraphic characteristics of sedimentary sequences and stratigraphic controls on oil accumulation in major U.S. basins. During his career, Dr. Boggs, has authored many papers in sedimentary petrology, geological oceanography, stratigraphy and organic geochemistry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Boggs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1930665822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781930665828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackburn Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.34h x 7.29w x 1.81d","brand":"Sam Boggs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445896982783,"sku":"9781930665828","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52c472ad-a9e0-425e-8bf1-beef6298d816.jpg?v=1777221350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/petrology-of-sedimentary-rocks-sam-boggs-9781930665828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
