Sedimentation as a Three-Component System Organic Carbon, Carbonate, Noncarbonate
Sedimentation as a Three-Component System describes the most common styles of deposition in marine environments as they relate to sediment composition.Three components, organic matter, carbonate, and siliciclastic sediment, maysettle concurrently, but at different rates, intermixing on the sea floor...
