Photographic Atlas of an Accretionary Prism: Geologic Structures of the Shimanto Belt, Japan


Add your own review!

Overview

Based on Cretaceous-Tertiary accretionary sequences of the Shimanto Belt in Japan, the complex history of these exceptionally exposed rocks is summarized in this text through a series of outcrop sketches (to microscopic scale photographs), and geological maps, most of which are in full colour. atlas aims to broaden the base of general knowledge of the growth of continental margins, and provides both a general introduction to research in accretionary prisms, as well as an education aid for students in sedimentology, structural geology and tectonics.
