People : Faces :: Rocks : Facies
from Geology On The Rocks · host James Hobbs
As we come out Covid Protocol, we bring to you another episode of Geology on the Rocks! This episode continues our discussion of Sedimentary Basins and we dive deep into all things Depositional Environments and Sedimentary Facies. When we talk about depositional environments, we are referring to a specific type of place in which sediments are deposited and these layers of sediment that accumulate in each of these depositional environments have their own set of distinctive characteristics that provide us very important clues and information with regard to the geologic history of any given area. A characteristic association of sedimentary rock features linked to a distinct sedimentary environment is what we refer to as a facies. Just like a face has distinguishing characteristics, as do rocks with their facies. Narwhals, comets, meteors, and dinosaurs make their presence known in New News. Fluoroendenite is our guest this week during Mineral Minute. And in That Freaking Rocks we discuss our Band's 2021 Plans. Maybe someone got signed? Remember To Be Cool. Stay Tuned. And Keep It On The Rocks!
