Abstract

Palaeogeographic reconstruction — the reconstruction of an ancient sedimentary environment and its surroundings — starts from the analysis of facies. Each of the characteristics of the facies studied can be associated with some natural process using the principle of uniformitarianism. It is, however, rare for quantitative physicochemical or mechanical data to be found for the ancient environment.
