Book Description

Excerpt from Geochemistry of Carbonate Sediments and Sedimentary Carbonate Rocks, Vol. 1: Carbonate Mineralogy, Carbonate Sediments The invitation extended to Dr. Graf by the United States Geo logical Survey to prepare the chapter on sedimentary carbonates for their revision of F. W. Clarke's Data of Geochemistry has afford eda valuable opportunity for the state and federal geological surveys to cooperate in a basic review of selected topics in carbonate geo chemistry. The resultant material is presented in five Illinois State Geological Survey Circulars and subsequently will serve as the basis for a condensed treatment in the revised Data of Geochemistry. Part 1, published as Circular 297, includes an introduction and sections on carbonate mineralogy and carbonate sediments. Part II, Circular 298, includes the section on sedimentary carbonate rocks.
