Text/handbook emphasizes the stratigraphic evidence which a geologist can actually see in outcrops, well records, and core samples, and can gather using geophysical techniques. Revised (1st ed. was 1984) to incorporate recent developments in the field such as the publication of new stratigraphic codes, new research in fission-track dating, and refinements of geophysically based basin-subsidence models.
