About this document
Dickinson (1985) by Caro Araneda is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses interpreting provenance relations from detrital modes of sandstones. It describes different provenance types like stable cratons, basement uplifts, magmatic arcs, and recycled orogens that contribute distinctive detritus. Composite provenance can be mixtures of these. Proportions of contributions can be estimated. Evolutionary trends in sandstone composition over time and with changes in tectonic setting are also addressed.
