Content

Lecture:
After a discussion of the internationally accepted classification systems for limestones, sandstones and schists a survey will be given of the most frequent occurring sedimentary structures and diagenesis processes and products. Next recent sediments and paleosediments will be discussed going from aeolic, fluviatile, lacustrine, deltaic, undeep marine (carbonate as well as siliclastic) to deep marine milieus. In each case the attention goes to the possible economic importance of these sediments. The practical G689 and the excursion G690 complement this course completely. In the practical as well as during the excursion students are taught how to describe and interpret sedimentary stones and structures correctly (macroscopically as well as microscopically) and how to integrate these observations in the geological evolution of a field of study.

Aims

After this course students are expected to:
recognize the most important sedimentary stones macroscopically as well as microscopically and integrate them in a genetic system; Students are also expected to argue in which sedimentary milieu these sedimentary stones are probably formed;
recognize sedimentary sequences and cycles and relate them to sedimentary mechanisms;
interpret correctly sedimentary structures and relate them to sedimentary processes
have acquired the basic concepts of facies analysis and diagenetic modification of sediments
have acquired insight into different sedimentary processes in recent milieus (aeolic, lacustrine, glacial, fluviatile, deltaic, undeep marine, deep marine, for students of mining engineering only the part aeolic and deltaic sediments) and lay the link with similar paleomilieus.

 After this course students are expected to:
- recognize the most important sedimentary stones macroscopically as well as microscopically and integrate them in a genetic system; Students are also expected to argue in which sedimentary milieu these sedimentary stones are probably formed;
- recognize sedimentary sequences and cycles and relate them to sedimentary mechanisms;

The practical is aimed at:
- determining the most important sedimentary stones macroscopically as well as microscopically;
- drawing conclusions on the basis of petrographic observations about sedimentary conditions as well as about specific diagenesis processes (on a restricted basis);
- integrating the knowledge acquired in this practical in the complementary course G130 (and vice versa).

Content

Practical:
During this practical students will learn to determine siliciclastic and carbonate stones. Next organically rich stones and evaporites will be discussed. Students will learn to describe these stones macroscopically and microscopically, to determine the sedimentary structures and to situate stone sequences in a possible geological context.

The excursion is aimed at acquainting the students with the variability of stones in terrain conditions. Another goal is to develop a model concerning geological history about a geological area where sedimentary deposits different from those of the Ardennes are opened up.

Content

Excursion:
The evolution of the excursion domain will be situated in a geological frame by means of mainly Rotliegend siliciclasts and vulcanoclastic sediments as well as the Zechstein kupferschiefer, the evaporites and carbonate stones.
