An integrated sedimentological, PXRD, and PXRF approach to resolve facies ambiguity in peritidal carbonates: a case study from the Upper Ordovician Saluda Formation

ABSTRACT The inherent subjectivity and limited reproducibility of facies descriptions are widely recognized. These challenges are exemplified in variably dolomitized, peritidal mixed carbonate–siliciclastic deposits where traditional sedimentological facies analyses rely heavily...
