The articles included are a compilation of published documents taken from the internet and have been put together to try to provide an introductory overview of Sedimentology, Depositional Environments and Sequence Stratigraphy. The authors have been quoted wherever possible and articles have not been changed, unless necessary to avoid repetition.
