The lucid text covers classical principles of lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy alongside newer subjects such as geochronology - the use of radioactive decay to determine absolute age. The author includes new techniques - particularly seismic stratigraphy, magnetic stratigraphy and isotope stratigraphy - and the interpretation of depositional environments. The book gives undergraduates with some background in physical and historical geology the tools to master the principles of stratigraphy as seen in surface outcrops.
