ExaminationExamination && TextText
Final Examination:
One hour examination (50%) of two (selected at random on the
exam day) of these six questions: distinguish between
– Peritidal carbonate from slope carbonate systems?
– Barrier island & estuarine systems from deltaic systems?
– Alluvial from eolian systems?
– Wave & storm-dominated shallow marine clastic systems from alluvial
systems?
– Major differences in sequence stratigraphic signals of carbonates from
clastic sediments using sequence stratigraphy?
– Shallow platform carbonates from evaporites?
