  2. 9 8 11

  3. Marine Settings: #8-Deep Sea

  4. Marine Settings: #9-Continental Shelf (shallow)

  5. Marine Settings: #10-Organic Reef

  6. Carbonate platforms are built by reef-building organisms that precipitate calcium carbonate as calcite aragonite. Coral reef Lagoon Open ocean Light Light Light Carbonate platform

  7. Atoll formation: 1) Volcano, 2) reef forms, 3) volcano erodes

  9. How do Sedimentary Rocks form?

  10. Diagenesis Process...turns sediment into sedimentary rocks Requires: pressure, temperature, fluids Most cements are Calcium Carbonate or Silica

  11. Sedimentary Structures Features formed at time of deposition

  12. BEDDING: Horizontal layers of rock

  13. Cross-bedding: Ripples, dunes, sandbars

  14. Graded bedding

  15. Ripples

  16. Sedimentary Textures Clues to the history of the rock

  17. Grain size and angularity

  18. Degree of sorting

  19. Poorly sorted, coarse-grained Contact Well-sorted, fine-grained

  20. Siliciclastic classification is based on grain size Coarse: boulders and gravel Medium: sand Fine: silt, mud, clay

  21. Chemical Sedimentary Rocks
