Last update: Ing. Radek Trnka, Ph.D. (14.04.2006)
This course extends knowledge of carbonate rocks provided by basic petrological lectures. Students will acquire skills usable in field (description and interpretation of sedimentary structures and diagenetic features, a. o.), and laboratory work (microscopy).
Literature - Czech
