Facies Analysis and Interpretation in Southeastern Nigeria's Inland Basins

This book broadens the reader's knowledge base on lithofacies distribution, facies succession and association, and interpretation of paleo-depositional environments using outcrop-based and measured se¬dimentologic section data integrated with facies and petrographic analyses. Besides, the author also provides step-by¬step workflow that could guide detailed geological field mapping and improve outcrop studies across Middle-Upper Cretaceous (CenomanianCampanian) successions of Southern Benue Trough and the lower stratigraphic interval of Anambra Basin, outcropping in Afikpo area of Southeastern Nigeria.

Broadens the understanding of geological field mapping and sedimentological logging for improved outcrop studies within sedimentary basins Equips readers to analyze lithofacies and interpret depositional environments and measured sedimentologic section data Provides step-by-step workflow to carry out detailed geological and outcrop-based studies
