Course Objective

to teach to postgraduate students the allochemcal and orthochemical components of the carbonate rocks and their detailed microscopic petrographical and diagenetic properties of them.
to relate the carbonate depositional environments with the rock types and porosity.
to examine the economic importance of the carbonate rocks.
