Depositional Provinces and Analogues

This is another gateway to a listing of eclectic galleries a variety of geological examples with different sedimentary depositional settings. These are illustrated with photographic images, maps, diagrams and in some cases of descriptions of a variety of ancient and modern sedimentary systems including:
