DIAGENESIS

A natural complement to the Facies Models volume, this book emphasizes the role that diagenesis plays in the origin of common sedimentary rock types, from carbonates to evaporites to siliciclastics. This is done through a series of review papers, each dealing with a specific subject. Included are sections on the origin of chert, fluid geotherometry in sedimentary systems, and the diagenesis of organic material.
