Quaternary Carbonate and ➕ Evaporite Sedimentary Facies and ➕ Their Ancient Analogues. A Tribute to Douglas James Shearman (Special Publication 4️⃣3️⃣ of the IAS)

✅ This book 📚️ is part of the International 🌐 Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications. The Special Publications from the IAS are a set 📐 of thematic volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to sedimentologists. Papers 📜 are reviewed and ➕ printed 👣 to the same high standards as those published in the journal Sedimentology and ➕ several of these volumes have become standard works ⚙️ of reference. This volume commemorates the eclectic research of Douglas James Shearman into evaporites, which was initiated by his 👤👨⬅️ studies of the prograding U ​🇦🇪​ coastal sabkhas or 🧂 flats that incorporate evaporite minerals which displace ➕ replace earlier carbonate sediments. 👤👨⬅️ subsequent proselytization of the study of ancient evaporites in sedimentary sections all over the 🗺️ led to fundamental advances in 👥⬅️ understanding of arid zone carbonate sedimentology. The 📜 🎁 here are based on 🎁 🛠️ in AE bu Dhabi, ​🇦🇪​ 1️⃣2️⃣-1️⃣4️⃣th October 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣4️⃣ ➕ 7️⃣th –8️⃣th November 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣6️⃣. They provide a retrospective from the 1️⃣9️⃣6️⃣0️⃣s ➕ 7️⃣0️⃣s of Holocene evaporites ➕ carbonates, recapturing Shearmans contribution by revisiting the Holocene coastal sabkhas or salt flats that incorporate evaporite minerals which displace and replace earlier ➕ carbonate sediments of the ArabianPersian Gulf from Abu Dhabi, ​🇶🇦​, ➕ ​🇴🇲​. H The 🥇 📐 of 📜 considers sub thesequ sediments from the prosely rspectization ve of the study of ancient evaporites in sedimentary sections all over the world led to fundamental advances in our understanding of arid zone carbonate sedimentology. The papers presented here are based on presentations made in Abu Dhabi, UAE 12-14th October 2004 and 7th –8th November 2006. They provide a retrospective from the 1960s and 70s of Holocene evaporites and carbonates, recapturing Shearmans contribution by revisiting the Holocene coastal evaporite and carbonate sediments of the ArabianPersian Gulf from Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Oman. The first set of papers considers these sediments from the perspective of their coastal geomorphology, sedimentary character and ➕ their geochemistry. Later papers 📜 examine the significance of these settings 📐 in the ancient geological section world 🗺️-wide, including examples from the Mesozoic-Cenozoic of the Moroccan Atlantic margin and ➕ the Upper Jurassic Arab Formation of the Arabian Gulf.
