• This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of environments of the early Carboniferous period. It considers large-scale palaeogeographic reconstructions, regional environmental interpretations, diagenetic studies and detailed microenvironments such as soils. The understanding of depositional environments within their structural context is emphasized, demonstrating its particular importance to extractive industries. Hypotheses for the origin of cyclic sedimentations, well-documented in this period, are discussed. Changes in this period are reflected by cyclic sedimentation and hypotheses are proposed for the causes of this fluctuation.
