A Compiled Synoptic table of the Standard Microfacies and Facies Zone System of Flügel (2010): A Practical Tool

Abstract

A synoptic table, compiling the most important information of Flügel’s (2010) [1] complex standard microfacies and facies zone system, is shared with the public. On one page, it contains all standard microfacies (SMF) types, all facies zones (FZ) and which SMFs are associated with which FZs. This table provides the user with a quick and convenient reference/overview, serving students and professionals as an effective teaching/learning and research tool.
