Course Learning Outcomes:
- Identify and classify carbonate sedimentary rocks in hand specimen, drill core, and thin section.
- Apply the lithofacies concept to carbonate sedimentary rocks to interpret paleoenvironments of deposition.
- Understand and apply the relationship between relative sea level change and carbonate production to interpret lithofacies stacking patterns through time.
- Interpret the paragenesis of carbonate sedimentary rocks in thin section to evaluate reservoir potential.
