This book is intended as a follow-up to the Atlas of Quartz Sand Surface Textures (Cambridge, 1973), which introduced the technique of electron microscopy (SEM) to the study of sand grain surface textures. It presents methods of using SEM developed in the past 25 years and discusses their values in the interpretation of sedimentary environments, the problems inherent in these methods, case studies, and future possibilites for research. The audience for this book will be largely sedimentologists and stratigraphers.
