The Persian Gulf: Holocene Carbonate Sedimentation and Diagenesis in a Shallow Epicontinental Sea

This volume, although not an integrated synthesis, treats most aspects of Holocene sedimenta­ tion and diagenesis in the Persian Gulf, grouping 22 contributions under a single cover and in one language.
