Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks:
– composition and classification: conglomerates, sandstones, mudstones and shales
– diagenesis and porosity
– provenance of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks
Carbonate sedimentary rocks
– composition and classification: limestones, dolomites
– diagenesis of limestones
– dolomitization and dolomites
Carbonate clastic rocks
Other chemical/biochemical sedimentary rocks and carbonaceous sedimentary rocks: evaporites, cherts, ironrich sedimentary rocks, phosporites and carbonaceous sedimentary rocks
