Permo-Carboniferous Carbonate Platforms and Reefs (AAPG Memoir)

Stemming from presentations given at the SEPM- and IAS-sponsored research conference held in May 2000, this volume provides new material and global insight into Permo-Carboniferous geology.

Within the evolving Permo-Carboniferous 'landscape,' a wide diversity of carbonate platforms and reefs flourished. They ranged in size from small mounds to mega-platforms, some of which are important mineral and petroleum reservoirs. It is the diversity which Permo-Carboniferous rocks offer that has led to their intensive study by researchers from industry and academia around the globe.

The papers in Permo-Carboniferous Carbonate Platforms and Reefs are grouped into these three major themes:

*Platform Architecture and Sequence Stratigraphy

*Reefs, Mounds, and Paleoenvironments

*Diagenesis and Reservoir Characterization
