It describes how the features of sedimentary rocks can be recorded in the field, particularly through the construction of graphic logs. In succeeding chapters, various sedimentary rock types, textures, and structures are discussed and shown how they can be described and measured in the field. There are expanded sections on trace fossils and volcaniclastics, along with an updated reference list.
