Re: paleonet Current sedimentology/stratigraphy texts



I'm using "Sedimentology and Stratigraphy" by Gary Nichols and "The  
Sedimentary Record of Sea-Level Change" edited by Angela Coe. Sam  
Boggs just came out with a new edition of "Principles of  
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy" that I'm using as a reserved  
alternate text.

Nichols is better at the non-mathematical topics and Boggs fills in  
these gaps nicely. The book edited by Coe is by far the best  
introduction to sequence stratigraphy (for neophytes) yet published.
