Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
Master sedimentary rock formation from source materials to basin fill. 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 in Zimbabwean contexts.

What will I learn?
This course provides a clear step-by-step guide to sedimentary rock formation, from weathering of source rocks through transport, deposition, and lithification. Learners will interpret grain size trends, cements, porosity, and sedimentary structures, while constructing realistic stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences. Acquire hands-on skills to analyse successions, enhance reporting, and make reliable subsurface and surface interpretations applicable to local Zimbabwean geology.
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 fluid flow.
- Select, cite, and summarise key geological reference sources effectively.
