About

Sedimentary petrology is the academic discipline focused on the systematic study of sedimentary rocks. It investigates their composition, texture, fabric, and primary and secondary structures, alongside the processes of sedimentation and diagenesis, to interpret depositional environments, reconstruct Earth history, and assess economic resources contained within these rocks.
