Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
Master sedimentary rock formation from source materials to basin deposition. Develop skills in building stratigraphic logs, interpreting fluvial-deltaic systems, predicting properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and applying facies analysis and diagenesis to practical geology and geography projects. This course equips you with hands-on abilities to analyse sedimentary sequences confidently for subsurface and surface interpretations.

What will I learn?
Explore sedimentary rock formation stages step-by-step, from source rock weathering through transport, deposition, to lithification. Master interpreting grain size trends, cements, porosity, and sedimentary structures. Build realistic stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast successions, enhancing your ability to read depositional environments, improve geological reports, and make informed subsurface and surface interpretations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build stratigraphic logs for 4–6 layer river-to-coast successions quickly.
- Interpret facies by linking sedimentary structures to fluvial, deltaic, and marine settings.
- Predict rock types by converting sediment descriptions into sandstone, shale, or limestone.
- Evaluate reservoir quality relating porosity, permeability, and diagenesis to flow.
- Select, cite, and summarise key geological reference sources effectively.
