An important key to understanding argillaceous rocks lies in their microfabric. Argillaceous Rock Atlas adresses this aspect by taking a systematic approach to the analysis of fabrics of shales and other argillaceous rocks. Scanning electron micrographs, thin-section photomicrographs, and x-radiographs amply illustrate the salient features of shales at a variety of scales. Case studies of well-known argillaceous rocks, supplemented by mineralogical and geochemical data, are used to demonstrate the utility of these analytical techniques in the interpretation of depositional environments, diagenetic processes, and the economic significance of argillaceous rocks. Argillaceous Rock Atlas is a valuable and unique reference for students and researchers involved in sedimentology and stratigraphy, petrology, petroleum geology, hydrogeology, and geochemistry.
