Re: paleonet Sedimentology textbooks

Michel,
 
There are a number of useful sedimentology text books. I recommend:
 
Boggs S. 1995. Principles of sedimentology and stratigraphy (2nd edition). Published by Prentice-Hall, Inc.
This is a good sedimentology book as it gives a good coverage of the basic principles of sedimentology (i.e.  sedimentary structures, rock textures, rock types and classification and sedimentary facies). O, and the different methods in rock correlation and stratigraphy (biostrat., Lithostrat etc.)Easy read and it is used to teach basic sedimentology at my local university.
 
Reading, H. G. (editor) 1996. Sedimentary environments: processes, facies and stratigraphy. Published by Blackwell Science, Ltd.
This is a more advanced text on sedimentary facies.
 
Walker, R. G. 1984. Facies models, 2nd edition. Geoscience Canada, Reprint series 1.
A simplified form of Reading, 1996.
 
Hope this helps... Keep smiling!
 
Matt

Subject: paleonet Sedimentology textbooks

Colleagues,
 
    Can anyone recommend good sedimentology textbooks for
a person who is primarily trained in the biological aspects of
paleo but would like to further his knowledge of the geological
side of the science? Thank you very much for your suggestions.
