This volume brings together key papers in sandstone diagenesis published in Sedimentology over the past 30 years. They record the development of diagenesis as a subject from the description of grain shapes through provenance, petrography, and analytical geochemistry to predictive models of diagenetic process. The key papers are separated into themes that describe early and burial diagenetic processes. The book also features an introduction that provides definitions and explanations of the terms and concepts used in diagenesis.
