A major reason for the lack of understanding of argillaceous rocks is that the key to understanding their history lies in their microfabric. "Argillaceous Rock Atlas" addresses this aspect by taking a systematic approach to the analysis of shale fabrics. This approach combines such techniques as scanning electron microscopy, x-radiography and thin-section petrography. Thus the book is amply illustrated with scanning electron and thin-section photo-micrographs and x-radiograms which show the salient features of shale at a ...

A major reason for the lack of understanding of argillaceous rocks is that the key to understanding their history lies in their microfabric. "Argillaceous Rock Atlas" addresses this aspect by taking a systematic approach to the analysis of shale fabrics. This approach combines such techniques as scanning electron microscopy, x-radiography and thin-section petrography. Thus the book is amply illustrated with scanning electron and thin-section photo-micrographs and x-radiograms which show the salient features of shale at a variety of scales. A great portion of the book is devoted to case studies, supplemented by mineralogical and geochemical data, which demonstrate the utility of these techniques in the interpretation of depositional environments, diagenetic processes and possible economic significance of argillaceous rocks. This atlas is a reference guide for students and researchers involved in the fields of sedimentology and stratigraphy, petrology, petroleum geology, hydrogeology and geochemistry.
