It considers large-scale palaeogeographic reconstructions, regional environmental interpretations, diagenetic studies and detailed microenvironments such as soils. The understanding of depositional environments within their structural... more » context is emphasized, demonstrating its particular importance to extractive industries. Hypotheses for the origin of cyclic sedimentations, well-documented in this period, are discussed. Changes in this period are reflected by cyclic sedimentation and hypotheses are proposed for the causes of this fluctuation.« less
