IntroductionProvenance analysis serves to reconstruct the predepositional history of sedimentary rocks. This includes the distance, climate, and relief in the source area, and the specific type of sedimentary rocks (Pettijohn et al., 1987). Many attempts have been made to refine provenance models using the source rock composition, the extent of weathering, transportation, and diagenesis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
