| Holder(s) : | Frédéric Boulvain |
|
| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | The different families of sedimentary rocks are described and interpreted in relation with their depositional environment. Criteria for recognition and interpretation of rocks are based mainly on study of thin sections . |
|
| Course objective : | Capability to recognize and interpret sedimentary rocks and sedimentary environments. |
|
| Prerequisites : | GEOL0017-1 Géologie générale |
|
| Workshops : | Practical work is focused on thin section study. In a first stage, the student learns how to identify the rock type; in a second stage, an interpretation of the sedimentary environment is established. |
