Facies Analysis
Facies analysis
is a critical method in sedimentology and stratigraphy used to interpret the
depositional environment
of
sedimentary rocks
by examining their physical, chemical, and
biological attributes
. This analysis helps geologists reconstruct
past environments
and understand the spatial and
temporal distribution
of
rock units
, which is essential for
resource exploration
and
geological mapping
.
