The aim of this course is to recognize the main sedimentary rocks both macroscopic and microscopic (mineralogical composition) (carbonate rocks, sandstone, schiefer) and can fit into a genetic system (international classification system). It is also expected to argue in which deposition environment these sedimentary rocks were formed
After this course students are expected to:
recognize the most important sedimentary rocks macroscopically as well as microscopically and integrate them in a genetic system. Students are also expected to argue in which sedimentary environments these sedimentary rocks likely 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 environments (Aeolian, lacustrine, glacial, fluviatile, deltaic, shallow marine, deep marine and deltaic sediments) and lay the link with similar paleoenvironments.
The practical courses aim:
determining the most important sedimentary rocks macroscopically as well as microscopically;
making 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 (and vice versa).
The excursion is aimed at acquainting the students with the variability of rocks in field conditions. Another goal is to develop a model concerning the geological history of an area where sedimentary deposits occur in the Ardennes.
